    It's kinda funny that if trump gets re-instated on twitter, and he leaves troof so-shul, won't that kinda prove it was garbage?

    ...But Trump — who was permanently banned by Twitter for what the company described as his role in inciting violence during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol — made no mention of rejoining the platform even if his account were to be reinstated, insisting that he plans to stick with his fledgling social media network, Truth Social.

    “TRUTH SOCIAL has become somewhat of a phenomena. Last week it had bigger numbers than all other platforms, including TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and the rest,” Trump claimed in a Truth Social post. “It also looks and works better to my eye.”

    Musk, who is expected to become Twitter’s CEO, has said he would reverse Trump’s lifetime ban.......

    I thought it was funny, too. My point in posting the link was to relate Trump saying he's not going back to Twitter. I doubt that'll hold true.

    I'm guessing its a matter of time until Twitter is moved to Austin.

    It's the greatest social network in this country and probably the world which means it's the greatest social network in the Universe.

    What's funny about truth social is that conservatives are finding out total unrelenting "free speech" is not as good as they thought. It quickly devolves into complete garbage, nationalism and rampant conspiracies, threats of violence, echo chambers and all sorts of crap like that. Conservatives are finding that half the fun of their garbage platforms is thumbing it in libs faces. When they spend time on a platform without libs to taunt, then it loses a lot of ita fun. Their standard humor boils down to, "I am a garbage person with garbage ideas, does that trigger you?, Lol too bad, suck it up snowflake". With no libs around that loses a lot of it's entertainment value.
