Let’s all get a life. Launching a new system takes time. Fully operational by end of March

~~~

People don’t realize it, but the internet isn’t magic. It’s hard work.

I want to be critical too. Trump is a do-er and a winner. In my mind, his endeavor should have been preparing for high level demand. In fact, that’s what you want. Better than the alternative.

But this isn’t a computer in someone’s basement. It’s about linking data centers, DNS routing, load balancing, DDoS protection, and I could be wrong, but I would imagine that if your in Trumps sphere and you have some healthy paranoia, you don’t just hire ‘experts’ from silicon valley without vetting them, and you’re gearing your systems up for attacks. Attacks from foreign actors, attacks from opportunists, being subverted by the deep state actors, and making rivals out of silicon valley king pins. Interestingly, a lot of those may be linked.

As you state, it's hard enough getting a world-class social media site up and running with the scalability to keep it growing with tens or even hundreds of millions of users.

Anybody who has read about the early days of Facebook, Twitter, etc., can appreciate.

Now add to that the fact that many sinister forces are going to be out to try and destroy the platform, whether by DoS attacks, saturating it with bots, and who knows what else.

The people working to get this platform off the ground have their work cut out for them. I will therefore try not to be critical and will have some patience while they get their act together.

Unfortunately that's exactly what DJT did as POTUS. Quite a few of the people who he hired as advisers and assistants turned out to be working against him.

Knowing what he accomplished in 3 years, just think what he could have done for this country if he would have ignored people like Sessions, Cohen, Bolton, Scaramucci, and many others....

I hope that Truth Social will not be a repeat and that it will indeed decrease the amount of zuckbucks that are in this world....

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!!!!
