I have an account on TS but I just can’t warm up to it. Maybe I’m not doing it right.
In this day and age, the most effective weapons are not those that cause physical trauma, but those that cause mental and spiritual trauma.

It has to grow on you. Its like Twitter without the censorship. I feel more free to say what i think in there than i do in here. I might talk in here but never say what i really think about things.
TS is better because you can delete a post and repost if it didn’t come out like you want it to.
I come here for my news more than discussions.
I mainly post memes that I find here or from my collection on Truth Social. But as a medium for reading and communication, I find it tedious, difficult to navigate, and leaving a lot to be desired. The content is good (if you can follow it), but I’m not at all impressed with the design.
I find FR and Telegram much more user-friendly. On Telegram, I like that you can easily go read only the feed of a specific page you follow, and not get everything from everyone you subscribe to bombarding you at once.
On both of Telegram and FR, I love being able to read newest posts at the bottom of the page, which makes most logical sense to me. I hate that on TS, new posts are feeding in all the time from the top, and bumping things down out of sight while you’re trying to read them, or watch if it’s a video. There’s a setting that looks like it’s supposed to stop that, but I have it turned off and new stuff still keeps flooding in.
And the whole idea of reading things in reverse chronological order is something I find a pain. When I first get on TS for the day, I find myself hitting Page Down until I get to stuff from the last time I was on, 10 or 12 hours earlier, and then attempt to read it in order going up the feed. Heaven help me if I try to expand a post for context; as by the time I go back to the feed, I seldom know where the heck I’ve wound up. Relocating something I’ve read before is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Other than that, I love it... 😉 😂
