    Radio host and TV commentator Dan Bongino built an army-sized following over the years on Twitter, with 2.4 million fans. In a few short weeks, he's attracted about a tenth of the same following on President Trump's nascent Truth Social platform.

    But with millions fewer users and hundreds of thousands fewer followers, Bongino's Truth Social account — like those of scores of other conservative stars — is creating substantially more engagement on posts than his long-time audience on Twitter.

    Thursday afforded the latest example. Bongino sent the same message out on both platforms to alert audience to his latest video podcast.

    "Panic Breaks Out Over The Ukraine Bio-Labs Story," Bongino wrote on both platforms.

    His giant Twitter audience created 554 likes and 185 retweets as of 7 p.m. EDT on Thursday. In contrast, his smaller sized audience on Truth Social tripled the engagement with 1,550 likes and 488 "re-truths."

    "The traffic to the site and to the show is off the chart," Bongino told Just the News in an interview Thursday about Truth Social. "The engagement is extraordinary right now."

    He also slammed mainstream media reports suggesting Truth Social was off to a slow start, saying such reports are disproven by engagement charts of its top users and belong in the same discredited trash heap of journalism as Russia collusion stories.…

    ruth Social will be a huge success. It is the cutting edge of the new social media eco system. The active users of the new sites are much more engaging and energetic that the authoritarian and controlling censorship plagued establishment sites.

    It is great that conservatives and free speech advocates now have a safe and friendly place to meet and communicate in a Twitter like setting.

    Truth Social will fail as badly as Trump's re-election bid.

    Talking about Beijing Donnie Trump making Communist China happy:
    If Beijing Donnie's new media platform is successful, Communist China will be making money as well.
    How Donald Trump's Truth Social Is Connected to China

    Not only will Communist China make money, but Beijing Donnie's media platform will also back Communist Chinese propaganda: "Panic Breaks Out Over The Ukraine Bio-Labs Story"
    China amplifies unsupported Russian claim of Ukraine biolabs
    As Russia intensifies its assault on Ukraine, it is getting a helping hand from China in spreading inflammatory and unsubstantiated claims that the U.S. is financing biological weapons labs in Ukraine

    I signed up from my computer as soon as I was notified a couple of weeks ago that it went live. But when I go to the site, all I see is a link to download a phone application. Is it not yet possible to access the site from a computer?

    No. As of now it only works on an iPhone. Android and laptop users are out of luck.

    What a failure of a launch.

    I dig the results, but by far, the real story here are the "secret bio labs" that Jen Psaki lied to everyone about from the podium. I hope the twitter shudders as it witnesses what free speech actually looks like.

    Logical and Expected...

    IF, an Echo Chamber (for the similarly-situated) is created solely for the purpose of those that believe that "1+1=3"...
    THEN, it Logically Follows And Would Be Expected THAT:

    A Post saying "1+1=3" would get more "Likes/Engagements" at the Echo Chamber, than a similar post at a place like Twitter.
    Logical and Expected...

    A Pathetic RW Troll (with Zero Credibility)...
    In January 2022, Bongino was permanently banned from YouTube for using his main account in an attempt to circumvent a temporary suspension imposed on his secondary account after he had posted a video questioning the efficacy of masks against COVID-19.

    It wasn’t but a few days ago Dems were screeching about how poorly it was doing lmao. They actually just took a random claim from the internet and ran with it.

    I am glad to see there is a place that’s growing for valid differences in opinion and discussion. Most social media platforms just ban any opinions that go against the msm.

    meanwhile twitter, YouTube, Facebook etc allow for their conspiracy theories to run rampant.

    par for the course

    If true, all conservatives like me not being on Twitter but on Truth Social will turn Twitter into a liberal echo chamber assuming it isn’t it isn’t one already.

    It is an echo chamber already. They ban anyone who dares disagree with the left.

    They ban the truth. Thus the exodus from the site.

    I’m there and not on Twitter. At Truth Social, I have the same name I have here and at NewsTalkers, and I already have 1,000 followers there in 5 days.
