Who said Truth is barely functioning? The media?
Truth Social is only available to Apple users. There is still no android app, there is no web based product and is apparently available only in the US. Trump had 89 million followers on Twitter and has less than a million on Truth Social. There are people who have been on a waiting list for a month just to download the app. My nephew has the app and was finally able to download it, but has not really used it.
Anyway, it’s a major undertaking to launch something like this, but sometimes the media is correct.
