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

Is that the one created and run by a teenager out of his mother’s basement, and charging people $4.99 to join?

Mmmm, except that while he doesn’t like to do any work, he does like to disseminate his pearls of idiocy, which is why he had a hissy fit about being kicked off Twitter, and why he announced he was going to create this new platform. If he thought his new platform was a winner and he would get attention from using it, he would be doing so. He wouldn’t regard that as work - he liked tweeting.

The reason he isn’t posting on his own platform is that he has a keen instinct for when something is seen as unfashionable or third-rate or for “losers”, and distances himself from it pronto.

Ha. Two key ‘top’ tech ‘Executives’ uh-huh.

And they where ‘contestants’ on The Apprentice.

hahahahahah.

My guess is it’s just Nunes now.

And which other software company develops a product only for one platform (Apple) with the plan to later transpose it to another (Android) instead of a parallel development? That’s nuts. Or have they just not being able to lure a competent Android developer to their team?

I think both are true. I think a number of people involved with this project have a tenuous grasp on reality, and in addition it’s difficult to hire a software developer when you have a habit (and reputation) of not paying people. Software developers usually won’t waste their time unless a paycheck is involved.

Nor competent Apple developers it would appear.

Sort of goes without saying if they are dumb enough to work for Trump.

That goes for anyone. But in this case, everyone involved with this particular enterprise needs to worry more about it. Perhaps getting stiffed on too many paychecks in a row made key technical people leave quietly a while ago. Nunes must be getting something out of this besides promises of a paycheck.

Don’t worry folks! There’s going to be a “shakeup”!

Trump has been upset with the state of his social media venture, Truth Social, and is eyeing major shake-ups to the company, including positions on the board of Truth Social’s parent company, Trump Media and Technology Group, according to one of those people familiar with the matter and a separate person as well.

Fire everyone! Get in some fresh idiots who know nothing about social media or technology or business!

Yep. Loyalty to the cause is probably the first priority - far above competence and experience.

That always works. Especially for someone who always “hires only the best”!

Bingo.

From The Daily Beast:

Asked by The Daily Beast why the ex-president wasn’t prolifically using the app himself these days, another source—who has spoken to Trump about his floundering social-media company in the past few weeks—simply replied, “He wants it to be a hit first.”

Trump should get George Soros to fix it. Apparently that fucker can get shit done.

And he’s an idiot if he hasn’t figured out that the big draw to that platform will be his posting. His fans aren’t going to want to hang out there unless he’s there, too.

Yes. Yes he is.

“I refuse to join any club that would have me as member”

Yet he stills talks to his kids…

Article confirming again what posters here have been saying…

…two key executives with an actual background in tech — Josh Adams and Billy Boozer — have resigned. One source familiar with Truth Social told Reuters that Adams was the “brains” of the app’s technology, and “if Josh has left… all bets are off."

Holy shit, the “brains” has left a Trump con? Good thing the rubes are dipshits. Just keep telling them where to send their money.

The thing is that “Truth Social” is free. I can’t see how anyone is making a dime yet. The cons are the rubes in this case.

The rubes are the ones that invested in Digital World Acquisition Corp.
