He’s waiting for the Android and website version to be live. Why would he start the BOOMS now before he has the app fully available for EVERY person?

Agreed.
President Trump is likely waiting for those things and for other countries to have access... then his first post will happen and it will gain the world's attention.
"My fellow Americans, the storm..." ?
Yes please!
Imagine the exact date of the Droid app is all part of the Plan
I think it is, and if it's not, I'm sure someone will point out a coincidence.
Yes, WWG1WGA can be an EXODUS from Twitter.
Everyone leave, as we were one.
Exodus.
Biblical.
Sorry, I don't really believe a plan this long in the making has its timeline dependent on a new social media platform that has only recently come into existence. What was all that stuff the other year about the Emergency Alert System? An EAS message to every cellphone is far better than a social media post to a network a relatively small number of people use. Also, the Internet, through sites like this and Rumble and Telegram, has done a pretty good job of getting relatively minor happenings out over the last years without TS.
Ah, making an enterence
I signed up months ago and I’m still waiting to get in.
Yup same here.
Same. Pretty annoying
I hope his IT team can speed things up. It was supposed to have been ready the end of March! True it makes sense, but to be available worldwide is going to take months!
Two more weeks.
Or for when SHTF begins, his increase in activity will let us know the details of the process.
Exaxtly, you don't start the movie until everyone has found their seats.
Yeah but when you have a set time for a movie (end of march) you don't withhold the selling of seats just to delay the movie.
Username checks out
That was my assessment as well.
Absolutely no doubt! I think there’s a pretty heavy vetting process happening. It’s why people sign up at the same time and get in weeks apart. If we look at what we know about Apple, they have tons of info already stored on every user. Easier to vet. Use a VPN? Get to the back of the line. I don’t think it’s going to get to other countries before he starts posting. I think we have to wait for android and pc’s while things get really bad. Then when all hope is lost (but most are in truth) along comes the EBS in the form of TS. Interesting tidbit, I tried to get on TS while out of the country. I was signed in but not able to access anything. Russia banning citizens from accessing other social media platforms. The Russian cyber attack scare? The storm is brewing
Last week Praying Medic said it's still pretty buggy. So, think they're still trying to stomp those out.
There’s definitely more to it than being “buggy”. It’s an intentional move. Being out of the country with no access affirmed some suspicions.
As an Android user I'll be thankful to not be left in the dust
I have an iPhone and pre-downloaded the app, and still on the waitlist.
where we go one we go all, who have iphones
Any idea when android and PC users can start signing up?
Now, with the right browser plugin and user agent. Still won't get you online though thanks to the waitlist. You will be able to get your username and actually sign in but there isn't anything you can do until your waitlist number hits.
No one knows. Most iPhone users are still waiting.
Still haven’t figured out DM. You go jersey, have a theory
Hey! For DM you click the bell button on the top right, your inbox.
When you're in messages, on the top left there is a little plus sign in a circle. Click that and manually type the name in. It's poorly thought out and should really be updated to have a direct feature to DM someone from their profile directly.
Tried. Do I have to do the u/?
This AND timing is everything..
If Trump wanted us to hear him he wouldn't demand an email to sign up.
This may be on of the dumbest comments I’ve seen in a minute. NEARLY EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS HAVE REQUESTED EMAILS TO USE, BUY, SUBSCRIBE, JOIN, ETC.
Listen to yourself my man. Go make a burner email and spoof a number if you’re so concerned good gracious.
Demanding email is a form of censorship. You tell me I need to take special steps or precautions in order to join Trump's social platform, and offer weak-azz attempts at insult instead of logic in response to me merely pointing out the fact of it.
There are Reasons why people don't participate in social media and 'you' are one of them. People like Trump who demand emails - datamining as it were - are also one of the reasons.
You capitalize the notion that all media requires that you permit datamining by them, as if that somehow justifies the spying and intrusions... and you suggest I employ subterfuge, dishonesty to spoof the datamining...
Listen to 'myself', you suggest, yet you are the one defending dataming and dishonesty. AND you intimate that Trump is also demanding a phone number...?
Sheesh.
https://files.catbox.moe/nkqp06.png
Look at the alternative. No email address required. No verification whatsoever. Then what happens? Spam bots galore and the site loses usability. Then real users get frustrated and leave.
'Some' real users, or folks who would be real users if they didn't have to allow datamining on themselves, don't ever join because datamining.
Trump can do what he likes with it, or whoever the owner is, I was merely commenting that IF he wanted all of us to hear him speak he wouldn't condition it with requiring we permit dataming against us in order to attend.
I'm not suggesting he change it to accommodate 'me', just pointing out the reality of it - Trump requires datamining to enter. As a Vet part of why I Served was to protect Free Speech, even tho most people do not want Free Speech, as we see here. Most people want 'their' version of Free Speech, but limited speech for others. Free Speech requires that all speech be allowed, good bad or ugly, no conditions.
https://files.catbox.moe/69itls.jpg
I'm as anti censorship as anyone, but where's the line at then? If you want good, bad, or ugly free speech, then would you allow users to post images of people being murdered? What about porn? How about child porn? You said no limits.
Free Speech contains such things, sure, it encompasses ALL speech.
That doesn't mean all speech has to be allowed in all venues at all times.
What line are you asking me about? A 'line' Society draws separating vile speech from more kosher speech? What's the worst form of speech you can imagine, kiddie porn? Ok, put that on one end and put the Bible on the other, just for my purpose here for this exercise.
All of the above is allowed, in the proper venue. It might not be appropriate to show images of kiddie porn in Church, or at Grandma's house. But showing hunter's laptop images as evidence of corruption is necessary to Society, it is allowed in the proper venue.
I have no use personally for a 'lot' of Speech, but it was decided by God long ago that we mere Humans would be exposed to it via satan.
Would 'I' allow it to be shown, you ask... Shown where? On social media? No, there is no reason to do so, it is illegal and so should not be done. It is offensive to many people and so should only be allowed in those venues where conditions are appropriate for it.
If a social media site offers Free Speech yet does not want kiddie porn to show up it should refuse images, allow only scripted posts.
If a social media site wishes to allow images AND be Free Speech it can have rooms, one allows images and requires dataming and is limited speech, the other is Free Speech and no images.
That's all Academic of course, very few people WANT Free Speech, not trying to antagonize you but your example is proof. Where place limits, you ask? Free Speech has no limits.
Limited Speech is what most folks want, and they all want to decide where to limit.
https://files.catbox.moe/3ggkmx.jpeg
I know you aren't trying to antagonize. Didn't take it that way fren. I guess my point was, if you want truly free speech, it doesn't exist, at least not in the United States. There are is always some limitation put in place, be it by a social media platform or by existing law(in the case of kiddie porn).
Some people think that Free Speech means anything goes, absolutely no limits whatsoever. This is a fallacy and a misunderstanding delivered to you by the Liberals. They want to destroy your free speech so they make you defend something that will naturally destroy itself. Free speech comes from the days that those words were originally written in our country. When our founding fathers forbade the encroachment on Free Speech it was to protect you from being murdered for criticizing the king, not so you can trade CP on the internet. When you served, were you willing to die so people can trade CP openly? Is that what you fought for?
Liberals would tell you that actions of protest are free speech. Therefore as long as you are doing it in the sense of a protest, you can go into the street and stab to death as many people as you want, hey, it's your free speech!
HAHAHAHA!!! Sorry but no, liberals never told me anything that stuck. I got wise to 'liberals' in 1969 when they began busing to my school.
I do not consider any pictures or images to be 'speech' at all actually, but our greater Society does. The written word is speech, the spoken word is speech, images and yeah even memes are not speech. Images and memes can convey ideas but they are not that protected Thing we define as Speech, for my nickel.
I enlisted to defend Free Speech, partly so anyhow, not images or cartoons or parodies of speech but actual Speech, good bad and ugly.
I consider that our courts and laws and Society made a mistake by including so much in the concept of 'Speech', but they all have done so and that is the Society in which we live. I swore an Oath to defend the Constitution, and I must accept the legal interpretations of that instrument even as I disagree with them.
Raise your sights, you seem to conflate violence with Speech, the two things are diametrically in opposition.
I appreciate your thoughtful answer. I see that we disagree on the more legitimate interpretation of free speech. Is Free Speech the interpretation of today, or should it be understood more in the sense of the founding fathers writings entirely free of Supreme Court Justices who can't define what a woman is?
I lean heavily toward the latter. I try to remind myself that Free Speech was originally meant to be political Free Speech, not to include obscenity, blasphemy, pornography, CP, or even disturbing the peace. I really doubt our founders sacrificed everything so that everyone can act like assholes. However they did feel strongly that each person should be able to express their political opinions without punishment.
From my point of view memes, political cartoons and the like are squarely within the traditional meaning of the First Amendment. It's a powerful form of questioning government and petitioning for redress of grievances.
Requiring an email address doesn't prevent spam bots on other social media sites. Why would it prevent them on Truth Social?
Because they are being reviewed by actual people, not flawed algorithms. That's why it's taking so long.
I don't understand how using people to verify an email address would prevent bots.
Wouldn't they be doing the same thing as the algorithm? (Also, could you explain how the algorithms are flawed on other social media sites?) It's simply checking to see if an email address is real.
What are humans doing that goes above and beyond checking to see if an email address is valid?
I'm not being snarky here. I'm honestly curious as to what you believe is happening there.
I didn't say it would prevent bots, but it certainly slows them down.
But how so? What is Truth Social doing differently than other sites that would slow down bots?
If having humans verifying emails is your answer, then what are they doing beyond checking that an email is valid?
Without having to verify an email address, it's much easier to write an automated program that creates usernames. A 14 year old with some skills could create thousands of usernames in no time without much effort. Requiring a verified email makes it more difficult to automate the process.
Requiring an email address is done so that a verification email can be sent. Clicking the link in the verification email proves that a live human is requesting the account. There are probably some ways around this, but it cuts down drastically on the resources needed to filter out bots and spammers. Otherwise the site fills up with garbage and it becomes useless.
I use e-mail verification on my sites as I feel that providing a phone number is too intrusive for many.
I’ll repeat myself one more time. Go make a spoof email and number if you’re going to whine over a 25 second process that has been in place for the last 30 YEARS.
You can repeat your nonsense and click your heels as many times as you wish, that doesn't change the fact Trump datamines 'you'.
Scream 30 years some more, that's real reddit-level lemming shiite that is.
https://files.catbox.moe/iflupr.jpeg
EVERYTHING is already saved, recorded, spied on, etc. There is NO safe haven. No VPN conceals your IP, you're still tracked. You can't be this stupid and be on this board unless you're shilling like a turbo faggot.
If 'you' have access to certain Tools - Vault 7 and such things - then yeah everything is already trapped.
But most people do not have access to those sorts of Tools, and a VPN does prevent all but the higher level hackers from following you. Can hillary 'see' me? Sure, but the local karen cannot. The local BLM terrorist cannot see me behind my VPN, but my double damned corrupt government can, yes, although they have to work some to resolve the data. Right now my VPN has the various programs tracking me for ads and such spoofed into thinking I am over 2000 miles away from my actual location for instance.
I forgive you your attempted insults, what purpose do you imagine they would serve?
Y'all don't understand, I do not wish to 'cheat' or fool someone just to enter that place.
Again, IF Trump wanted us all to hear him speak he would not place conditions upon it.
Not asking that he change it to accommodate Free Speech, just noting that he datamines.
I will not use subterfuge to play an evasion Game, it isn't worth it long run.
https://files.catbox.moe/2zz1yx.png
Is he mining data beyond user email addresses? Sincere question. I don't know. As others have said, almost every website requires an email address to create an account, for password recovery at a minimum.
You notice the creative framing here that asking for any form of identification to slow down bots is automatically data mining.
That sounds like fun. Let's all go into the Starbucks and scream bloody murder at them for data mining, when they ask what your name is to put on the cup.
I did notice that and totally agree. I wanted to say something along that line but honestly, I'm just tired.
It's like "errr muh gerrd, Trump requires an email address. That's data mining! I guess he opposes free speech!"
The leaps in the logic wore me out. Not worth the time to thoroughly explain it to someone who thinks like that.
Have you ever been to 4chan? They don't require an email to post. Without some kind of human verification, I'd imagine TruthSocial would look something akin to that but with more "MAKE $10,000 A DAY..." comments flooding real user's posts.
Of course I've been to the chans, I first heard of reddit many years ago over yonder.
I'm not saying Trump should offer Free Speech or change anything to accommodate 'me', I'm merely pointing out he datamines, and that IF he wanted all of us to hear him speak he wouldn't datamine.
I actually wish I had more time to spend on the chans and 8kun...
https://files.catbox.moe/3ggkmx.jpeg
There's a place for the chans and all, but I don't think that's Trump's vibe or what he's going for in a platform. He wants normies to come to it, not be put off by ass pics and the word "faggot" or "kike" on every post, thus the need for accountability in the form of email verification. Just my two cents.
I get it, but it is dataming, that's all I said, it is enough to keep many of us from using it.
So don't. I trust you will see whatever flows out of it if you choose to.
Who the fuck cares. Why have you beaten a dead horse this many times. Herd ya. You're sliding hard, wilfully and blatantly. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Why have 'you' responded? Sliding? I might say Imma offering a Service to those who see larger.
I mean, I didn't seek you out to attempt insult, you however DID seek me out to offer up contention. You claim nobody got time... yet here you bees.
HAHAHA!!! Just noticed Imma getting downdooted and wanted to post to myself, see if that works, I wanna be able to check it later and see how many downdoots I get favoring censorship.
It's going to be just epic!
Timing is important. This is the reason I don't have access (yet).
Is there someplace to pre sign up for the Android version, asking for a friend
I'm waiting on Android version also !!!
I will still tweet, since SOC rules apply to all irregular small unit tactics, even on twatter. Take it to them full court press any way you can. "WOLVERINES!!!!!"
Oh snap nice observation
It's blatantly obvious.
Sadly, I'm STILL waiting and March is almost over. I signed up on day 1. Feeling very sorry for myself...sniff, sniff
It would also explain President Trump's reported frustration with the progress of the platform. It seems likely that TS is a very important part of the plan and I'm sure he wants the widest possible audience for information dissemination.
yup. the only way i can check it right now is via qagg
