Will Truth Social Take A Bite Out Of Twitter? My Review

In a sane world, censorship wouldn’t exist. In a sane world, tech giants like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, which have become de facto modern ‘public squares,’ would respect and allow the free and open exchange of ideas on their platforms. In a sane world, former President Donald Trump and countless others wouldn’t have been summarily banned from said platforms for the ‘crime’ of simply expressing what they believe to be true. In a sane world, the urgent need for alternative platforms like Truth Social wouldn’t exist.
But we don’t live in a sane world, do we? Instead, we find ourselves in an Orwellian, dystopian nightmare where the powers-that-be don’t just want to argue for and implement their policy positions, they want to stifle debate and silence those who dare to disagree. “Build your own platforms,” they smugly told conservatives as their voices and ability to confront their online critics and counter opposing viewpoints was diminished to the point of being almost nonexistent. Then, when Parler famously did just that, they even tried their best to squash them...

I’ll pre empt some of the big tech social media talking points. It is not a lie to disagree with them. It’s not a lie to hold and express an opinion or belief on the issues that go against the dogma of the secular progressive urban elites. It is not pseudoscience or conspiracy theory or questionable to disagree with content control and censorship tools the social media use

 

The "truth media" aka the "Ministry Of Truth (1984)" will be heavily censored and so one-sided that not even the most loyal supporters will want to stay long.

 

It is great that there are viable alternatives to the big tech content control and censorship heavy big tech social media.

 

Sure it will take a bite out of Twitter. I'm not sure about the name as I'm sure their truth will be cherry picked, just as the left does. But, it will take a bite out of Twitter and the others as well.

 

And you know this how? Are you projecting the methods of Facebook, Alphabet, and Twitter on to Truth Social?

 

I was totally disappointed. I was expecting to finally see a review of Truth social media from a poster on this forum. I was hoping to hear your personal experiences and review of the new platform. Things like: If you had to queue on a wait list. Share with us how your experiences on Truth differ from platforms like Twitter. Examples of post you made that would have gotten you banned on other social media platforms. How many followers you have? How many people you follow? What are the type of posts you are seeing etc.... Give us your thoughts on the interface, responsiveness, content etc... Is it better, worse on par with other? You know a real review type of information.

Instead what you posted was another persons commentary on their view of social media. Why not just share your experiences with the new platform? You are one of those people that were really excited for the launch. Did it live up to you expectations? How many hours a day do you spend on it?

 

I know because that's what happens to forums which are designed only for the like minded, and everyone goes there just to agree with everyone else.

As for censorship, they are already under fire for heavy handed censorship and for banning members for criticizing the platform, and/or the people who run it. One person was banned while still on the wait-list, and it was because the platform did not approve of his username. The guy never even made his 1st post.

 

I’m still on the waiting list to get in.

 

The "truth" is that Trump's platform is already censoring posts and members that don't toe the line of his echo chamber.

Same crap, different day.

 

So you have no idea what's it's really like other than a fanboy love of Trump.
Got it.

 

CNN found out that the hard way.... Don't they hold some sort of potential record about ratings plummeting?

 

A plus for classic projection.

 

The irony here is overwhelming....

Are you complaining about him doing the same thing it was done to him and then y'all told him to go form his own platform?

It's a private platform the rules and blah blah blah.

If you don't like it return to Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and all the rest of those things

 

IF, Truth Social was every going to live up to it's name it would have welcomed all comers, but it was never going to be that. The name should be Alternative-Truth.

I think a lot of people WILL return to Twitter and Facebook so what has tRump accomplished; a right wing circle jerk. That might make him feel special but it really won't get his message any further than the 33% that have been in his pocket all along. It's really more like Truth Anti-Social, not something that Benedict Donald's opposition should worry much about. What it's members will soon realize is if they really want to get "their" message out, Truth Social isn't gong to be the place to do it. So, no, I don't think it will take much of a bite out of anything but it's users time.

 

The "bu...bu...but CNN" is not much of an argument when the topic is a new social media platform.

 

Well Trump helped out all the major media outlets with ratings. So now they can help his media company with all the reporters making accounts to report the craziness he says for more ratings. So he can post more about the craziness they post about his craziness.

It's like a craziness food chain.

 

Thanks. Do they tell you where you are in the queue? Can you see yourself moving up? Is it true that they have sent fund raising emails to the address you used to signup already?
