Newsweek ^ | January 21, 2022 | Darragh Roche

"Former President Donald Trump's social media site TRUTH Social could be launched as soon as February 21, as the former president marks more than one year since he was booted off Twitter.

The move comes as Twitter has experienced a decline in its stock price over the past month and some conservatives have moved to alternative platforms such as Gettr and Gab. ..."

Looking forward to where this ‘Truth social’ goes. I do like seeing Twitter suffer.

I’m still looking for a good Facebook alternative. Nothing I’ve seen so far compares.

I can’t believe after all the Russian Hoax nonsense that Trump named his new social media platform “Pravda.”

I am in FB jail at the start of this year. Spent 1/3 of last year in FB jail.
I now have a GAB account. Kind of hard to figure how to move around it and there are lots (an I mean LOTS) of weirdos there. They are easy to block.

I can’t believe the regime with its control of the courts, DOJ, media, banks, money transferrers, most of the swamp, every regulatory board, commission and apparatchik will allow DJT’s company the protections of the Constitution. My simple question is whether a federal hack judge can issue a TRO to temporarily muzzle the enterprise? When the entire activist wing of the judiciary are nothing more than regime whores, I’m very concerned about the roadblocks that will be fabricated to censor MAGA again.

The part that doesnt compare it that no other site has the users.

If everyone you knew was on minds it would suffice

FaceBook kicked me off. They said I could come back under certain conditions, but I said hell no! They did me a big favor.

I'm interested in Trump's site.

I admire that Gab is not beholden to the tech giants or foreign governments demanding they get shut down. They’re not even in the App stores you have to download it directly from their website.

It will be interesting to see what the many who have already moved off of twitter to something else, do in response to Trump’s new offering.

For example, many of them like Matt Gaetz already created new presences on both Gab and Gettr. In Gaetz case, like most I’ve seen, he seems to update Gab a little more frequently than Gettr, but that is possibly just due to Gab being around longer.

Will they just create a third account on Trump’s platform? Or maybe dump one or two of the others? As I said, it will be interesting to see.

Facebook booted me when they said I wouldn’t give them enough “documentation” to prove who I was, even though by then they had more than enough information to know who I was, as they basically auto-populated my friends list based on my phone number and I had been sharing things with those friends within the app for months. Some of my friends quit after that as well.

Twitter Stock Price Struggles As Donald Trump's Truth Social Launch Nears

Just for grins, I took a look at performance. Twatter has went from 71.69 to 34.82 in the last 6 months.
