true enough
We’ll see.
I’m able to get to where it’s telling me it has sent the verification email, but it never arrives. I even tried at 5am est.
258 million in the US age 18 and older. If just 10% of that number are attempting to sign up, that’s 25 million users.
Not working for me, confirms email, verification, then doesn’t recognize password that IT approved. Seriously broken.
“Launching a new system takes time.”
No it doesn’t, that is a myth. Someone is milking this for overtime. I could put up a site just like facebook or Twitter, have it fully online for registration, and be fine tuning as it is being used in just an hour.
Self hosted capacity is the only thing that takes any time. And they have already had plenty enough time to do that.
Like I say, someone is milking the heck out of this project.
405 error
“Already up to nearly 400,000 registered users this morning, which is pretty remarkable considering how painful it was to get registered yesterday. I actually spent a good few hours pounding away until I finally got through. I haven’t been that persistent on a phone since trying to get U2 tickets in the 1980s!”
_______________________
Likewise, I spent a ridiculous amount of time yesterday and finally when I was just about ready to give up received a place in line. For me at least probably the most disturbing aspect of this adventure is the complete lack of direction offered to the budding user.
The second most disturbing thing is having to deal with an expectation of quality as a counterbalance to the normal media bashing. This situation reverses years of hard work and plays right into the lefts hand. A real shame. So now we have to defend ourselves while having to admit at least in private that this was rollout sucks.
Nothing but 405 errors here. No joy.
Let me know when they work the bugs out.
I assure you that it isn’t 400K genuine Trump supporters.
One appears to be much higher demand than they anticipated. The shear volume of signups could be overwhelming the servers (especially if the complexity of the account creation/verification process is extreme and the bandwidth for critical administrative pathways were insufficient...
The second could easily be cyber-attacks, whether simply DDOS attacks by smaller players or more major hacking of critical systems....
.
This part could be intentional as they track, identify, and neutralize the hackers...
A third will be real bugs. All programs have them, and will pop up in every new system/application/program that rolls out, as unanticipated situations make themselves known (never thought of THAT during the design/testing/implementation)...
Either way, the demand is there and I am confident the issues will be identified and rectified. I am on the wait list (#284,669) with notifications enabled, patiently waiting for access...
As a side-note for encouragement:
2 years ago I got as serious with GOD as I ever had, and requested 2 things:
1) TRUTH, and
2) JUSTICE
I believe I am seeing the first being realized, and pray the 2nd is right behind...
Who didn’t see this coming, i’ll give it a try next week.
EXACTLY!!! IT’S LIKE THE TRUMP RALLY IN CONROE AND ELSEWHERE. HE LOVES TO SEE LINES OF CARS MILES LONG, RIGHT??!!!
We were in line for FOUR, yes, FOUR hours to get into the parking lot just over a MILE away! It was interesting as we were fairly patient for 3 hours just talking and watching all the other folks. Then came time to need restroom facilities. The couple with us got out and walked into the venue for that and called and told us what the hold up was...a traffic cop who had evidently FAILED traffic patrol class!! He was aweful, letting those who were in the straight thru the light turn left with us!!!! The food lines were also long so it all worked out. We got parked, and through the security line in about 45 minutes. Our friends had just ordered food for all of us so it worked out fine. Hundreds of great Americans around us made everything so exciting and spiritual that we had a great time despite the negative experience of getting into the venue!! Like his rallies, Truth Social will be worth the wait. God Bless President Trump and America!!!!
Note to Truth Social software guys from a software guy:
When launching a brand such as this, launch your betas regionally, so as to catch the bugs early, before they go viral. Not to mention reduce the initial loads (assuming you have already successfully completed load testing)
just my $0.02,

I'll wait a while, until that's possible...
No, it was a failure. We need to accept it for what it really is, unlike the opposition that makes excuses. Let’s just hope the failure is corrected much sooner than the government’s failure with the healthcare website rollout. Then we can claim bragging rights. 🙂
Nope. I successfully signed up but they then put me in a waiting line to read or post. My number is over 173,000
Not a good roll out
I take the longer view on these things, kind of the same way I do with a new weapons system.
Things take time. They will get it ironed out.
It isn’t something to get hysterical about.
It's not open and free if you have to register to read what's there. It looks like that's exactly what it will be.
