“When I signed up I put my user name and password. It kept saying username was already in use. I tried several different versions, same thing. Then I went back to my original username with a different password. Bingo, it took it. So I suggest you try a different password.”

Oh no... That is not good. Their system is comparing passwords with others on other usernames. This should not be happening at all. Only the username same/same should trigger a refusal no matter what you or anyone else is using as a password, even if they happen to be the same. It should not be comparing passwords against each other. Only usernames against each other.

Or more likely that when the password does not meet the standard set by TruthSocial, the interrupt jumps to the wrong error code. It's a bug, not unusual for new code. But I am surprised this did not shake out in testing.

The same thing happened to me when I registered for a new email service a while back. I chose something i thought was obscure and unusual, but had to keep adding numbers at the end to get one that was’t ‘used’.
