Truth Social will be an echo chamber of those who already follow Trump heavily.”

Unless all the LGBTQ, socialists, communists, marxists, media types, Hollyweirds, social media influencers, and educators leave Twit and move to Truth Social if Musk acquires the company.

STILL waiting for the web version. I can’t do squat until they get all platforms up and running.

It's amazing how so-called conservatives are so quick to condemn an upstart like Truth Social all because it did not meet all their lofty expectations on Day 1.

They have apparently no idea how difficult it is to build out something like this from scratch without using existing infrastructure (controlled by Big Tech).

Devin Nunes addressed the reason it it on iOS only for the time being. It is much easier to work out bugs and make improvements on a single platform as opposed to multiple platforms. They decided on a slow rollout on their own schedule so that they could deliver a consistently great user experience for those who were already on. That's why they had a waitlist. If they let everybody on at once, the system would have slowed to a crawl or crashed, giving the haters even more to crow about.

They are doing this right and now they are in position to quickly add millions more users.

You are describing the Beta instance correctly. Now that it’s out of that phase and has scaled to Rumble it will roll out to the web and Android. That’s been their stated design, development and implementation plan all along. We will see if it works for the platform.

Good to hear the Truth Social is working for the Apple users.

I am waiting for TS to be available on my PC.

Looks like it is headed that way soon. The switch over to the Rumble cloud is paving the way for that to happen.

-- It will be an echo chamber regardless. --

So what? Every place is an echo chamber, mostly.

If an issue is important to you, for whatever reason (curiousity is sufficient), do your won research. Find the raw, principle, first data - the stuff that everybody is spinning. Learn how to understand that (underlying) material, which is often papers filed in or issued by a court, or proposed legislation, EO, or similar.

This is time consuming work, so for everything else, just figure you are not well informed.

Same. Twitter is a much different style of social platform than Facebook. Many joined Twitter and almost never used the platform. I’m one of them.

Truth Social is far more appealing and user friendly.

You make good points. I have worked on the startup of major computer systems back in my working years and making sure the system works in beta version is so important.

“I couldn’t get on. I’m registered....have been for months.”

Same here, must have been lost in the shuffle. I went into my browser and looked for “Truth Social Login” and re-registered.
Start from scratch, will ask you a question,” Why do you want to use T/S”. It will tell you to wait for an approval. I was approved in a day. Then you are in.

Twitter won’t be an echo chamber if Musk gains control, that’s the point.

I know there’s fake accounts, but there’s far more users already on the platform.
The important thing is to wake up people in the middle and people easily swayed.

You and I don’t need convincing.

Why is there this assumption that Truth Social is a competitor to Twittter???

They’re not the same style social media platform.

It’s like saying Musk is buying Pinterest, therefore, Facebook will become obsolete.

Lofty expectations like being able to use it on a web browser or as an Android user? That kind of lofty expectation? How would I know if it's a good product or not? I just know I can't use it. That's my 'lofty expectation.'

Let's face it, this roll out is a disaster. No reason this couldn't have been implemented by the Summer of 2021. Gettr did it fine then with a few hiccups. I wanted this to work, I really did, but I can't get on it, even after several promises of rollouts have come and gone. Talk about a blown opportunity. These "so-called conservatives" as you say have been more than patient with this incompetent team.

Truth Social isn’t a competitor. It will never be as large.
I’m not saying don’t join if you want, I’m saying Musk getting control of Twitter is far more important.

“I had zero issues.”

Well, aren’t you just SPECIAL?

“This forum has a ton of nit picky complainers who just want to sit on their butts and not take opportunities given them.”

This forum has a ton of people who don’t want to be tracked by smart phones so prefer to use a basic PC.

“Next up: deploying both web and Android instances”

Really? Will there be a web interface in the future? I can go for that.
