Two Truth Social Execs Quit

[GodFearinGunTotin]

This thing has struck me as a train wreck for some time now.

Two Truth Social execs quit as Trump’s social media app struggles to take off: report

Truth Social downloads have plummeted, and daily active users are around 513,000 --- well below Twitter’s 217 million

Maybe 'Truth' doesn't sell. At least not this version of 'truth', seems 'the market' is deciding
that there just isn't enough content and or traffic to attract the ad revenue, that is the truth
that counts in 'media' business.

I created an account a couple of days after it launched. It said I was #255,xxx. Im still waitlisted. I listen to Steve Deace’s show some. A week or so ago, he mentioned he’d helped with beta testing of the pre released version—he’s still waitlisted.

I think this will go the way of Trump-steaks. More hype than actual value.

To work these things take critical mass and it is hard to get…

My guess is some will hear “you’re fired”…

After Musk slid into Twitter I sort of thought he told President Trump to hang on he will get him back on! We will see, maybe no reason to split people to a new app.

This is spot on. It's not about truth, at all. It's about monetization for selling your data for advertising. It's not about left vs. right. It's about money. It's digital bread and circuses.

I signed up a few weeks ago, still waitlisted. I don’t do social media, I thought I’d at least give this a shot that it wouldn’t turn into the cesspool that other sites have, but I’ve heard from a few sources that it’s just not working very well. To be honest I’d kinda forgotten about it until I read this.

Trump definitely should've put people in charge who know what they're doing for a project this size.

And access should've started with web browser access from a regular computer, and then gone on to cellphone apps.
But instead, you can only access this site with an iphone? Really?
I have no intention of ever owning an "i" anything.

Donald Trump's social media platform was supposed to be "fully operational" by the end of March.

Agreed on all counts. INGO is about my only "social media" and I really don't do anything on my phone (my fingers are too fat to type on the itty bitty "keyboard"). And I too have no plan to ever own an "i" anything.

Me too.

I hear you.
I hate even texting on my phone any more than I have to.
Let along interacting on a social site on my phone.

Yep. Sometimes my sister will text me with just a general "how's it going?" type of thing and I'll start to text her back and then just say screw it and call her instead of trying to type everything out.

DoggyMama uses the talk to text thing, but I spend more time correcting what the phone thinks I said than it would've taken to type it out in the first place.

Just be like my mom, don’t correct it and they’ll call to see what you were trying to say and make sure you’re not having a stroke
