Yes. I noticed this. I would log out sometimes and hoped that it would let me in. Because I actually got notifications on my phone that "Truth Social" followed me. So, I thought I needed to reload, so I logged out and back in, and my number increased. My advice, do not log out. :)

I tried signing up, still waiting on the email to verify my email

I just noticed that it requires IOS 13, I'm on IOS 10. Thinking that may be the issue. Why the fuck would Trumps social platform require you to buy a new iPhone? I'm not, guess I won't be there.

I think they ID'd the online social media Trump supporters and those folks got an invite to pre-register, and so they get bumped when they join. The unfortunate result is that supporters, the backbone of the movement, are still in line. It's like a nightclub. They allow people to cut the line who promote the product and the brand.
