I am an Apple user but I can't argue with your comment. The only thing I like and prefer about Apple is that their platform is much more stable than the Microsoft BS that is out there.
I use a very old version of Windows with updates turned off and never have any stability problems. It's the suckers who have automatic updates (think Orwellian- downgrades) who suffer instability and are victims of planned obsolescence.
I agree! I turned off my auto-updates a long time ago. However, I’m talking about how PC devices have, or were running DOS AND Microsoft, which made the OS much more unstable.
Check Windows 10 LTSC, the only stable Windows 10. Only security updates, nothing else not "feature" updates which break your Settings and printer every single time.
Even security updates are NOT necessary with a fortified browser unless you are new to the internet and install random unknown attachments.
MS can codify things as security updates which really are not. I started being curious many years ago and started looking up each update for a little while-- you'd be surprised what they actually do.
Next month doesn't necessarily mean another month. It could be as soon as within 8 days. They may have struck a deal with apple to boost the use of their products or maybe they figured apple products were the "safest" for things like ddos attacks. Get some things out there but keep attacks down. Let the news write about how truth launched and not have all the launch articles be about how the platform is down? Just spit-balling.
I'm no fan of apple, but programming apps for iphones is much easier than for Androids. A dozen or so models compared to hundreds of possible configurations... And while typically apps run smoothly on either platform, I would imagine the image of being super bug-free is important for a new thing like this
Probably because Apple software is locked down tighter than a pigs butt hole and the company is controlled primarily by American interests. Android is more loosey-goosey, has more security vulnerabilities, and China has a huge presence in the market. Launching on iPhone may have streamlined the security burden; providing the most full-proof platform to resist deep state shenanigans.
Remember when Trump wanted to back door an iPhone and Apple told him to go jump? Maybe that was a test? (I have no idea how that story ended, maybe Apple caved).
inb4 Apple is controlled by the deep state zog and will rape Truth Social up the bum.
I hope all you lucky iphone peeps will share lots and lots, from TS, here, for we who can only feel sorry for ourselves til we have an android app. Wah!
That's nullifying the internet's greatest asset - anonymity. We really got brainwashed around 2005-2008. It used to be AOL IM with screen names.. and it seemed like nobody used their real names for personal email addresses before then either.
It's going to be interesting to see how well they can balance "free speech" with Apple's and Google's TOS standards.
Truth Social has heavily been promoted as a place where people can speak freely. I think that we all know what sort of speech Apple and Google will be on the lookout for. And based on what I've seen in this forum, the moderators are going to be working overtime on Truth Social.
It has also been promoted as a "family friendly" site. Again, that conflicts greatly with the "free speech" goals.
And I think we all know that there are going to be a ton of trolls trying to make us look bad.
I don't have an iPhone, so it looks like I'll be waiting until next month to be able to enjoy the site.
I am so happy Mark is one of the first people to distribute huge red pill suppositories on the platform. I hope Trump awards him a Freedom medal after all of this is done.
I had to dust off my old US Apple ID to get my hands on it; not available here in Japan yet either.
Not that you can create an account or do literally anything yet, but we'll see come tomorrow. Assuming it's not region-locked by data too. But that's what VPNs are for... [EDIT: Sure enough I needed a VPN set to the US in order to create my account and get my waitlist number.]
I assume just like they're rolling out gradually over platforms, they'll also be rolling out into App Stores by region too?
And what about phone numbers linked to American zip codes? There are ways to make it work, and it needs to be done unfortunately because we are at war. Knowing that still tons of autists are going to screetch and stomp their feet about it.
Trump isn't making 4chan part 2, it needs to be legit and we need control.
"We're asking people in the street if they think people who use TRUTH Social should be imprisoned." We know the fart knocking door knobs will say yes.
Will I be able to say fart knocking door knobs? 'Cause I expect a whole new fun derisive vocabulary to spread like a plandemic...Hey! They're not the only ones who can have fun with words.
How and why would Truth launch on Apple's stupid ass mobile OS ahead of a desktop version?
IDGAF about mobile bullshit. No one does any significant digging, research or connecting of dots from a mobile phone. Mobile = Lurkers, Desktop = Workers.
Fuck Apple. Let's move into Phase 2 and leave the mobile BS as a 2nd priority.
I can make it through the signup process until I choose a username and click the button. Then it tells me I missed something - but I didn't. They're still working the bugs out, I suspect.
No thanks for iOS- will not use an identifiable iPhone or Android device. If it works without a phone number and no other identifiable information via web it will do good, but if not this will crash and burn. Freedom of speech requires true freedom and anonymity.
six of one, really. "social media" basically evolved from forums...
be tee dubs, if you're looking for another fairly based social media, there's always minds. pretty chill community, dunno if it's the semi-pretentious name or what, but I've only ever seen one flame war start, and that was over some passive aggressive asshat trying to start shit...
mostly, though, people will just give their opinion and disagree in a pretty friendly fashion, lol
Might the problem be that you are using a term to which a lot of good people and patriots also identify? So, when you use the term "Jew" in a derogatory, pejorative way, it does come across as though you are castigating an entire people group. Maybe you are using it as shorthand for "Khazars, Pharisees, Ashkenazim", but what is sounds like is that you are an anti-semetic.
Also, there are many people who derive some barbaric thrill by the shock people experience when you use the term "Jew" as a pejorative. It gives many a perverse feeling of power, like - I can be an asshole, because I have a really good explanation as to why it only really applies to those really bad people and doesn't include the good people who also call themselves Jews.
Personally, I think it's a really lame thing to do. No one but your little circle of friends understands your special meaning and it comes across as racist. Never, ever will you wake one person up with that crap. You cause the entire patriot movement to be branded as antisemites and feel entitled to do so.
It's also a dog whistle when people use terms like (((they))) so all the anti-semites come out of the woodwork. It really is not a good look for a forum which is a cut above, intellectually speaking.
You won't be able to most likely because in many European countries, it is illegal to "deny the H" by law. If they don't censor it on the platform, they'd have to be unavailable in many countries.
Rarely do you hear about the gypsies, disabled, elderly, Soviet POWs, foreign political prisoners, or resistance fighters who were subjected to the same level of evil as the Jews.
Saying what you said there counts as "denying the H" in what the other guy is referring to.

So excited for you all getting sign up texts! Can't wait until it Android's turn!!

Slaves to Apple, slaves to Google.
Tomato tomato.
Not really. Android users can de-google their phones, install different OS, etc. Apple users cannot bypass their overlord's child-safety locks.
This is sort of true, you're correct
I haven't had an iphone since like 2009. Back in the day you could jailbreak them and side load whatever you wanted. Is that not still possible?
They should have released the desktop version first.
User data not nearly as valuable. Assuming they will allow advertising.
That, and the fact that they chose Apple as their exclusive launch platform, both do not speak very well for their priorities.

LET THE MEMES HIT THE FLOOR
Hopefully I have been added and I will be up at Midnight.
GET IN HERE!
I hope all you lucky iphone peeps will share lots and lots, from TS, here, for we who can only feel sorry for ourselves til we have an android app. Wah!
We are not iPhone peeps. We are Digital Soldiers!
so exciting! now to figure out if I should use my real name on my profile or make some shit up. Prolly making up a fake name lol
Damn right! I am Spartacus!
Cory Booker has entered the chat
That my fren is an insult to all Spartans :)

was going to complain about the whole iphone first thing, when android users way out number iphone users, when I realized... DJT is an iphone addict.
Not in North America.
what does that mean?
Apple phones are the most used devices in US.
that's not what I read. things have changed?
edit: so looks like I am behind the times. https://www.counterpointresearch.com/us-market-smartphone-share/
Canadians can’t use it? What da
Is it only available in the US?
I'm outside of US and it's not showing in my app store
I had to dust off my old US Apple ID to get my hands on it; not available here in Japan yet either.
Not that you can create an account or do literally anything yet, but we'll see come tomorrow. Assuming it's not region-locked by data too. But that's what VPNs are for... [EDIT: Sure enough I needed a VPN set to the US in order to create my account and get my waitlist number.]

They'll make an anime-themed one in a month.
I mean, they probably need to prevent massive foreign influence from bot networks and 10 cent army in china.
VPNs also exist everywhere
And what about phone numbers linked to American zip codes? There are ways to make it work, and it needs to be done unfortunately because we are at war. Knowing that still tons of autists are going to screetch and stomp their feet about it.

Lol. No. Just a strange business decision to show favor to the first platform that would likely ban Truth Social and forcibly remove the app :)
Biggest bang for the buck !
I have never had any social media. But I do now.
My last social media account was Twitter, my avatar was a pic of John Kerry, and my handle was John Fonda, lol.
I was perma-banned for calling Sarah Silverman a whore. I'll try to be nicer on Truth Social.
This is the only thing that will make me upgrade my phone. Good thing the fed owes ME money!
I can make it through the signup process until I choose a username and click the button. Then it tells me I missed something - but I didn't. They're still working the bugs out, I suspect.
I wonder what users he's talking about that will make CNN have a heart attack. Flynn? I really hope this thing blows the lid off everything.
If iOS is first, and there's no plain-web alternative, what're the odds ultra-woke Apple will suffer an unprecedented App Store fail?
Technically I'm hard pressed to think of a reason why a web site couldn't be made to work in same or less time than an app.
As for this 'vs' Gab 'vs' .win 'vs' Gettr I don't care. IMO it's free speech 'vs' the controlling oligarchs.
No thanks for iOS- will not use an identifiable iPhone or Android device. If it works without a phone number and no other identifiable information via web it will do good, but if not this will crash and burn. Freedom of speech requires true freedom and anonymity.
The app just downloaded on my ipad but won't let me create an account yet. Maybe after midnight it'll work.
Sweeeeeet! Happy Presidents Day!
But how long apple allow this on their store?
Uhhhhhhh....

Ad homenim is not a form of debate.
It is an admission of ignorance.
He isn't wrong.
His user name checks out.

I'm going to say no, based on Rumble's policy changes and Torba's whistleblowing regarding such.
Sure but obviously not if rancid biggotry, I assume?
