Former President Donald Trump might be joining the conservative social media platform Gettr following the lackluster performance of his Truth Social app.

Trump has "privately fumed" about Truth Social's failure to attract a sizeable audience since its launch in February, according to The Washington Post, which cited an unnamed source familiar with the matter.

The source also told The Post that the former president is now considering joining Gettr a competitor to Truth Social that claims it is "founded on the principles of free speech."

Citing its source, the outlet reported that Trump has been holding back from posting on Truth Social because he doesn't believe that the app is "ready for prime time."

Truth Social's current head Devin Nunes, who is also a former Republican congressman, has been attempting to assuage Trump's concerns about the app by giving the latter frequent briefings, per The Post.

How do you know so much about Truth Social? Other FReepers have said there’s no info on it.

I tried to join early on. I actually got to the point where they sent me a number code to enter to confirm my registration. Unfortunately the code didn’t arrive till about five days later and by that time it had expired. I haven’t tried again.

“....Needless to say, I’m not in.

It’s a shame it has been run like this at the onset.

I’ve pretty much written it off at this point.”

Ok i sent an email to support@truthsocial.com and now I’m in. Worth a try.

I set up my profile and followed a few people and a few people have followed me back. Too early to review. It’s going to take a lot of WOW to sooth over the 7 weeks of stupid but we will see.

Just got approved yesterday, 4-8, for Truth. So far seems like instagram. I’ll get used to it in a few days or weeks. Trump has posted 1 time saying welcome.

A lot of times when I click on your Rumble videos it doesn’t work. I think Rumble still has some issues.

Did you have to provide a phone number?

You don’t have to do that w/GETTR.

Thx

Never forget that they have to navigate an Internet that is currently decidedly dead set against conservatives having a voice that can be heard in any fashion.

Google, Amazon and others that control the cloud business - you either use their servers and be subject to them shutting you down (Amazon shut down Parler) or you have to build your own system with your own servers
