What about Trump's new social network? I hear crickets

Time to get in there and post over and over with updates to the January 6 Committee hearings.

Just the facts.

If I were a betting person, I’d start a betting pool on how long it will be before one of his posts is cancelled.

It is going to make Devin Nunes cry when he has to ban him for speaking too much truth.

He can’t handle the Truth!!!

This totally makes sense. Now there’s finally on the platform a lib to own. That should help drive users to maybe start using it, and could save Devin’s bacon.

Exactly right. I’m not loving the legitimacy Newsom is lending this thing.

I’ve been on Truth Social, and it’s boring af.

Your feed will show you the statements and retruths from the people you follow, which are all the same stupid propaganda, and you can read and comment. Some of the threads are all fanboy comments and memes, and others get filled with memes and comments by trolling liberals.

But that’s it. There’s no trend lines, no way to find interesting conversation or see what people are talking about right now. It’s so boring it’s not even fun to troll. I bet it dies of attrition within a year. Trump is even “Truthing” regularly, and no one seems to care.

Except Trump. I suspect he’s paid handsomely to “truth”, because I read the SEC filing and they said they would be doing that. It’s just another grift for Trump.

That’s what they get for basing it on free software that was deliberately designed to be “less exciting” than Twitter. Perhaps they could add trending topics and such engagement driving features to the Mastodon base, but that would require paying actual developers.

Well, well, well.

Somehow, just by sheer coinkidink, Donald Trump quietly removed himself from the Board of Truth Social mere weeks before it got hit by subpoenas:

“You’re on your own, son.”

He’s left Nunes holding the cow?

You.

In the corner, now, and think about what you just did.

Udderly ridiculous.

It should behoove you to ruminate on the bull that you’re producing.

I’m still giggling.

What do Trump and his buddies benefit by bailing now? If the company is being investigated for stuff the company has previously done, and it turns out there is some legal liability there, are the then-directors (to-wit: Trump, et al) still on the hook for that?

TMTG? Don’t know him. I think he brought me coffee once.

That was my question as well. The things that came to mind, is that they can leave someone else in charge of the cover-up so that its Nunes who gets charged with obstruction of justice for shredding the incriminating documents. Also they might want to get away from it for reputation reasons, so that when the whole thing goes belly up and thousands of Trump fans who lose their life savings, Trump can say that he had nothing to do with it. They sent him a fat check if he agreed to let them use his name but otherwise he never heard of it.

How long until Donald J. Trump claims he is in no way familiar with any person named Donald J. Trump?

“But I’ve heard he’s very handsome and smart. And has huge hands,” Mr. Barron added.
