    So, the gloating over this marvellous enterprise has strangely gone silent……..gee, I wonder why…

    Oh, I see……

    https://www.theguardian.com/media/2...al-donald-trump-failing-anti-twitter-platform

    “Instead, nearly a month after its launch, Truth Social has become a laughingstock, marked by a botched rollout, a share price collapse and, in Trump, a figurehead who doesn’t actually post much to his own social media platform.”

    Like everything else he touches, it’s turned to s**t…

    But fear not…..I’m sure he managed to fleece a nice chunk of cash from the willing fools on his way out…!

    Don't forget about the idiot he installed as CEO of Grift Social.....

    Your OP (The Guardian) signed up for an account... what do you want to bet 40% of membership are media accounts used to see if anybody is using it??

    SNIP
    And almost a month after the launch, Trump has so far shared only one thought to the platform; a boilerplate message in mid-February urging people to “Get ready!”.

    According to the Daily Beast, people close to Trump “have heard the former president on the phone swearing gratuitously and asking things like: ‘What the **** is going on’” with Truth Social.
    ENDSNIP

    I remember in the beginning of his term, he stated places like IBM will be hiring 25k more jobs, which was used by his supporters to highlight his accomplishments. Never happened. !!!

    OK, Dan Oin Go Boingo will rot your brain, seriously. He sells victimization to people that see themselves as victims. It's a lucrative grift, tons of people are on this grift trough. What's ever you do, do NOT spend or give them any of your hard earned $$$$s, even through viewership. Truth Social is another one of those grifts.
    ETTD.

    Truth Social is booming now. Membership during the testing phase is growing strong. It will be fully opened up in a few days. I like it there.

    Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! Nothing Devin Nunes does, nor Trump, will have long term success because it's all about fakes news and the grift, the very lucrative grift. Whatever you do, hang on to your money with every limb!

    In your previous post, you made the claim it was booming, while it may have had initial success, that no longer applies. Now if you wish to continue using it, by all means, but it certainly didn't change the social media world.

    My advice. Don’t rip off Twitter’s user interface next time.

    Threads like these make it seem like conservatives aren't on Twitter. I guess that's what the executives, owners, and shareholders of the right-wing Twitter clones want you to think.

    Just curious, but if it's so awesome, why are you wasting your time on this forum arguing with a bunch of libs and dems? Do you miss the debate?

    Do you not ever use social media like Twitter? Would you ask the same of a liberal member here who uses Twitter too?

    Don't use Twitter or any other social media. This is the only social media I pay attention to.
    I was curious to see if, in your opinion, it's better to be in a social media environment where most of the participants agree with your views, or if you like an environment better when there are differing views to debate.
    The question had nothing to do with whether you are a liberal or conservative, or whatever. Why would you ask that?
