100%. That’s why he is BIG MAD at Ukraine for taking out his Russian data centers.

Even with the bots, that's still a really pathetic number.

The purpose of his "blog" (let's call it what it is) was never to be a popular app for folks to be part of. It's his megaphone that is reported on by newsmedia. That's how it gets its exposure. It needs no interaction.

Just before he was banned from Twitter he was pissed off that people kept fact checking what he was posting. The sole point of truth social was so he could post his ridiculous lies without being being fact checked

If everyone could-would just ignore the petulant little toddler as temper tantrums are no fun without an audience.

In a post on his social media platform, Trump criticised Fox News for what he described as disproportionate coverage of Democratic candidates, particularly those he referred to as Jihadist Democrats.

"FoxNews spends more time covering the Jihadist and Democrat candidates than they do the good old fashioned Republicans," Trump said, arguing that Republicans were responsible for saving America and making the country great again.

The president also took aim at Fox News' coverage of his political rallies. Trump said the network did not give sufficient attention to what he described as his record breaking Rallies the morning after they took place.

Didn't Ukraine hit some Yandex server farms recently? Could really be a bigger part of the reason

Wait til the new total comes in this month with the Russian bot network on standby.

It’s all bots. If you’ve gone on there like me to see if his posts are real. The comments are all just bots.

Guess having bot farms being bombed doesn't help your platform when its being echoed by bots.

u/Ill_Dragonfruit_453 4h ago

So about 40% of the users were stored in that one russian bot farm

That’s not how bots work. The internet is down in Russia. Phone farms are spread all around homes and in some cases warehouses. They’re paid for views. For example, they might get $3 for every 1000 views. In addition to the political stuff, they also use the bot identities to run scams.

Dessert: Fox news looking increasingly depressed every day.

u/extrastupidone 4h ago

Out of 420k half of them are bots

Well, since now you have to pay to get dibs on his messages, you gain no market edge as a regular user. So with the usefulness of the platform gone I’m not surprised to see a drop in users.

These are rookie numbers. Let’s get him down to 1.

Not so "truth", either...

u/Garnetheia 3h ago

His supporters don't want their own space is the point. They want to go into other spaces and create conflict.

Truth Social would never appeal to most of them.

u/Rogue7559 3h ago

Yeah but you've got to remember it in the context of Zelensky bombing Russian data centres.

u/pinkyandthebrain-ama 3h ago

... And how many of those 'users' are bots?

1

u/VariousOperation166 3h ago

There is a significant number of people and organizations using Truth Social for documentation, analysis, and ridicule...

The numbers may be dropping closer and closer to that cohort alone...

Also, bots. So many, many bots

Delete X. That’s the real enemy of America.

Rare interview with Donald Trump as a child.

When the DJT stock price reflects it's true worth, then I'll believe that the red hatted cult has some semblance of intelligence.

Still wondering when America stops being shit. (As implied by their hat slogan)

Bot farm gets taken out by 🇺🇦, traffic to TS dips by over a third. Coincidence?

u/thecamino 3h ago

I’d wager a big chunk of users still on Truth Social are just there to screenshot Trump posts and repost to other platforms

One of the positives of trump being an idiot will be the collapse when his house of cards and glass collapse.

He is so over leveraged on very risky assets that if the banker ever decides to call in debt it should be a domino effect. I can't wait to pull up the popcorn bucket and watch that catastrophe.

u/Alimbiquated 3h ago

It's Trump's blog, not a social mediaplatform.

And how many of those 260k were gone for a few days after the Ukraine strikes?

They banned me. I didnt do anything against the TOS, I wasnt particularly rude or anything like that. I just happened to disagree with the crowd. Permaban.

u/Sonar_Taxbreak_1138 2h ago

I read "...ruins the country in his spare time" and I kinda think it's more accurate.

u/GreenOnions14 1h ago

It's his personal echo chamber and narcissistic validation platform. When he needs a fix, he logs on.

Where do you go to find user stats like this?
