Even when Truth Social gets to tens of millions of users, they will continue to get ignored and marginalized by the lamestream media.

This is because the establishment desperately wants this endeavor to fail. So they are going to try and make everybody think it's "dead on arrival." Unfortunately many Freepers here play right into that narrative.

I have a window open in the beta web version right now.

It's bare bones (in terms of the features that Twitter has to offer) but new features are slowly getting added. One of my suggestions is to add a "follows back" indicator in your following list so that you can see who of the accounts you are following are returning the favor. You can do this manually now but you have to click into each profile, which can take quite some time if you are following a lot of people.

I'm also requesting a "lists" function so that you can group some of the people you are following into lists which can be used as curated feeds. For example, on Twitter, I followed a lot of meteorologists and when nasty weather was brewing, I could easily filter my feed to see only posts from them. Having this functionality will allow you to follow thousands of people but than group them together in lists so you don't miss anything important in your timeline.

Truth Social is very fast, either in mobile or the beta web version. I think they made the right decision by throttling the rollout. Putting everybody on at once would have likely bogged everything down. We should go over three million active users this coming week and once the web version is officially release, expect many millions to join all at once. That will be a real test of the infrastructure.

For those who deride TS as an "echo chamber", I am finding that absolutely not to be the case. Once you drill down on the Truths to see the interaction, there is some very spirited discussion going on. Especially on the Trump Truths. I've had to block a few users, only because they were utterly profane and nasty.
