My account (@GoatTuckers) is still number 810,838 on the waiting list. I really want to get on the platform to start convincing conservatives to either stay home or write in Trump for everything in the midterms, especially since I found this really great Reddit sub where I can grab memes like this one to help my efforts. > **[r/ParlerTrick - Trump or bust 2022](https://www.reddit.com/r/ParlerTrick/comments/tq1cvj/trump_or_bust_2022/)** > > 53 votes and 0 comments so far on Reddit ---

Looks like a few of the Truth Social users are frustrated by what they’re calling censorship on the platform: > **[Truth Social Users Are Fuming Over ‘Censorship’ on Trump’s Platform](https://news.yahoo.com/truth-social-users-fuming-over-191902532.html)** > > “Sadly, I see so many innocent posts that are marked as sensitive,” one pro-Trump user wrote. > [@](#): > > Claims of “censorship” are flying on Donald Trump’s alternative social media platform, Truth Social. > > The main point of contention among users is that Trump’s site continues to apply “sensitive content” notices obscuring some posts, including a popular anti-Biden meme that mocks the president over increasing inflation rates. > > “This content may not be suitable for all audiences,” the notice states. > > That content warning has also covered up a popular graphic depicting Jesus Christ and a quote from the Bible with a gray filter, leaving users fuming. > > “Truth Social loves censorship,” one user wrote, whose bio on the site included the hashtag “NoMoreRINOs.” It was inevitable: No shirt, no shoes, no service. Whatever maximizes ad revenue, share price, market cap, and potential ROI for the shit-gibbon. ---

I have an account which I hardly ever use, it’s so boring it’s not even fun to troll. Most threads seem to be about 75% Trumpers and 25% people who hate Trump.
