If you feel like posting your Truth Social IDs, post them here in the comments. I'm making this a live thread.
No pressure. If you don't want to, that's ok. I'm going to delete the thread later anyways.

Having people following you may not be a bad thing. I've seen several people post that they can't add more people that they want to follow until they reach a certain threshold of # of people who follow them. It's really a weird system if that's the case. I'm not a twatter or FB person, so this concept is unknown to me - sounds like a goofy rule though if it's true.
It’s a 7500 following limit, until you also get 7500 followers. People suspect they are dissuading big accounts from just having large number of followers?
IMO, this 'rule' makes no sense whatsoever. POTUS isn't going to follow 7,500+ people and neither are Dan Scavino, Devin Nunes, Pompeo, Gen Flynn, Kash Patel, Q, Lin Wood, or accounts/people like that. It's a ludicrous rule if that's the case IMO.
Makes me wonder if certain people/voices on Truth Social are being excluded from this bizarre "following mandate" rule. If some are excluded from that rule, then how is that any different that the tyrannical politicians who dictate "rules for thee but not for me" re: mask mandates and travel restrictions that they violate themselves constantly?
I see your point but these arent bot accounts but actually people at top of the leadership structure.
I can see this being a fail-safe at the user level like we would be classified in case they were able to evade phone number using a burner phone and/or bogus email.
Kind of reminds me of something Voat would have done if one is familiar with how the vote structure is set up there in able just to post a thread if one day they decided to be a social platform instead of just a forum.
Slippery slope I know, but in IT, there are classes like users, power users, and admins and its just how it is.
Oops, I said it backwards. Trump is already followed by 1.31 millions de following one, TruthSocial.
Why'd you have to block them, they keep messaging you, or posting stuff on your profile?
Why's it a pain if they follow you?
I had four people follow me within a few seconds of joining. Probably just bots, since they don’t seem to have any posts.
Probably not bots, thus the point of the sign up process, no bots.
What's wrong with followers, paranoid? lol
The sign up process asks for a verification phone number and an email address. Nothing else.
Not really paranoid. Bots would be expected.
I personally haven’t seen a single bot on TS. I’ve gotten well over a hundred “random” followers but I’ve also been truthing memes, re-truthing, etc.
Most of them followed in the first and second week of TS being live.
TS isn't a Twitter reboot or 2.0, its built as a free speech platform, bot free.
While I can't say for sure as I'm still waiting for Android and/or web access, from what I've read their building TS to be bot free.
Maybe just people trying to build their T Social circle?
Would be nice to have some more light shed on this.
Not bots. When you join, they recommend people to follow.
Seconds after I joined, I was followed by @handsonbracelets.
Following over 2,000 people. No posts.
Joined two days ago.
Another was @americanow1. No posts, following +800. Created today.
They had subscribed to me seconds after I created the account as well, at the same time as @handsonbracelets.
Their accounts are still up and still subscribed to me, if you’d care to verify yourself.
