Unfortunately Truth Social is a failure. It’s been over a month and they still have a waiting list.
I still on a list, but I read that Trump won’t even use it.
There is no excuse for still having to wait after a month. The wait should have been at most hours, not months.
I’ve given up and so have many others.
Trump should get away from that train wreck and buy an existing app (GETTR, gab, Parler).
I have been on for two weeks, I find that it is working great. More interaction on post.
Trolls don’t win. Conservatives no longer shadow banned.
this is a very controlled careful rollout.
It is quite refreshing. There are close to 3/4 million active users now.
From facebook’s launch
“Over the course of his sophomore year, Zuckerberg built what would become Facebook. When it launched on February 4, he and his roommates were glued to their screens, watching as an estimated 1,200-1,500 of their fellow students signed up for their site within its first 24 hours of existence. From there, Facebook expanded rapidly, moving to other Boston-area schools and the rest of the Ivy League that spring. By the end of the year, the site had 1 million users, angel investor Peter Thiel had invested $500,000, and Zuckerberg had left Harvard to run Facebook from its new headquarters in California.”

But it's not realistic to expect that TS can simply add millions of users right off the bat and give them a good experience. They are taking the correct approach by slowly adding users to what the infrastructure can currently support so that they can build it out correctly while giving the active users a decent experience in the meantime.
I've been on it for about three weeks and it has been a good experience for me. The number of active users has about doubled since I was let on (I was on the waitlist for nearly a month myself). By my reckoning, they are adding about 150K new users a week. I anticipate that rate will increase at some point.
