    Among media reports of the platform’s untimely demise, conservatives on Donald Trump’s Truth Social are seeing far stronger engagement than on its big tech competitors, who have long faced allegations of censoring conservative media (which they’ve done openly), and shadow banning accounts they disagree with. Shadow banning is when a social media platform effectively blocks someone from their platform without their knowledge by making their posts and comments less visible (or not visible at all).

    Truth Social drew in 1.2 million installations its first month, and accounts are still being onboarded.

    These cretins aren't going to tolerate the competition. And just like Fox media, look for democrats to start actively calling for censorship of the conservative social sites....

    The fact that conservatives post identical items on both Twitter and Truth Social and the latter has 5-20% of the following yet has 5-30x the responses in likes and re truths is proof the left is throttling down on conservatives content on big techs social media

    They’d do to it what they did to Parler last year. That’s why creating an entire new social media environment with no connections to and no vulnerability to the old order is so important here.

    It still is in testing mode. Those of us here now are the beta testers of it. Any day now the big official grand opening game will happen.
