If they don’t get this waiting list thing fixed, people will give up.

I disagree. The slow rollout is infuriating to those still on the waitlist (including myself) but it is being done for a very good reason. Users are only being added as the systems are getting built out to handle them. If everybody was let on all at once, the platform would have been overwhelmed, everything would have slowed to a crawl and the user experience would have been painfully terrible. (Parler was a good example of that.)

After seeing the app for myself as a co-worker of mine is now on it, I am very impressed and convinced that they are doing this right. The interface is beautiful and very Twitter-like and it's lightning fast.

I can't wait to get on it and over time, the platform will be made available on Android and PC as well. Many more features will get rolled out over time.

Some will argue that Social Truth should have waited until they were ready to host the hundred million people who want to sign up but that would have been 1-2 years away and we just don't have that luxury of time. The critical midterms are coming up and we need to have an alternative social media site up now - even if it is not yet robust enough to host everybody that wants to be on it today.

Remember that Facebook, Twitter, etc., did not start out on Day 1 with a hundred million users. We'll get there.

So let the anticipation build and see the platform grow.

For those on the waitlist, I recommend that you go to the App Store to ensure you have the latest version of the app. Your waitlist screen should be updated to show two green checkmarks, one for SMS Verified and one for Notifications Enabled. This way you will be notified when you are ready to be let in.

Excellent post. A slow rollout is not bad at all and it serves many purposes. John Solomon catches the essence of what the site is doing and i expect it to be rolling along in a few months with a solid foundation.

I never joined Twitter, but follow a few people. I first used it because of Trump during the fall of 2015 and it was primitive back then and people rolled with the changes.
