Yeah, but what I don’t like is that it will give you a notification that someone replied to you when it may be a reply to someone else’s comment in a thread that has nothing to do with you. Pretty annoying.
But then when you hit back to return to your feed, your feed resets and you have to scroll all the way back down to where you left off instead of sending you back to where you deviated from.
I learned to just open truths in a new tab to not lose my spot.
Yep yep! Hey while we're here, I'm not sure how to ask this lol. I pray daily, nothing formal, but I pray for forgiveness and also for guidance and strength. Since you're into praying as well, could you keep me in your thoughts the next time you pray? Going through an ongoing issue and I could really use a spotter while I bench press this thing.
Doesn't have to be public or out loud or anything, but I figure it's worth asking for in case it helps.
I've noticed exactly the same. There are zero engaging conversations. I'm not having a great time there. It's nice to scroll through and get some updates from a variety of sources, there is some good stuff, but no engagement what so ever. Like it has not found it's "rhythm" or something.
I'd be interested when you do. I really think it's the mix of Normie MAGA people and Anons. Clearly many of the MAGA folks have NOT a clue what is really kicking. It's kinda different for me.
I figured (hoped) it was because of being a new site and people not yet understanding how to engage. There are settings that allow comments to not appear in your feed so you would not see them unless you are looking at the original post and then on purpose go to the comments. So many posts right now appear to be trying to get more followers over having real discussions. Once that settles down I hope it will be a better place. I still come GAW first every day to find out what’s going on and read the discussions. No better place I have seen.
I agree. That’s why back when I thought social media was not evil, I didn’t like twitter either. It’s not conducive to discussion.
Also TS has the same “wide exposure” as twitter, fb, etc so you get all walks of life. Here the people are all cool and worth talking to, minus the ones who intentionally come here to cause problems of course.
If you hit show truth details, scroll to top and you’ll see the full conversation. I think it may be a way for you to be exposed to other accounts. I’ve found, followed, and engaged with some interesting people. Maybe a way to build who you follow?
There's many I'd like to follow, but it makes it hard to find anything.
I go in, click on my profile and then on "following" to see what they've posted.
Lots of great posts on there and people do engage with others, but every comment shows up in my feed and is useless for me. I much prefer the format here, but we're a much smaller group. Lol
GAW is my go to but watching truth grow has been great. When PC’s we’re on, I finally felt like I wasn’t playing alone. Unfortunately, most peoples names are different so it’s harder to keep up with peeps on here.
Yes. I post stuff on TS that's not on the msm, that I mostly learn here.
The first time I did was a shock, the next time I went on there was 30+ notifications. My first reaction was oh shit, what battle did I start. I was a nice surprise that everyone was positive and I wasn't about to be banned. Lol
People don't like leaving multiple footprints with the same identity, understandably so.
I also want to use my actual picture because it makes it more personal, but being in the leftist public education field and having been doxxed and forced before on reddit without even using my picture, it dissuades me.
And I like using my actual picture like I do on other places including discord.
Very true, all social interactions get better with practice and it shouldn't be a surprise that being able to talk freely again is a liberty that needs some amount of reacquainting with.
It's so dumbed down I can't take more than short bursts.
It a bunch of normi grandparents posting bad memes and stupid "train conductors"
There is no good info to be found on there, there is no intelligent discussion, it a bunch of Trump lovers posting at each other. Im hoping it will mature as a platform the more people get on there. Im not trying to be negative, but in its current state it's pretty much worthless imo. I still spend the majority of my time here and 8kun.
I don’t think it’s a conversation forum . It’s a post forum - just like Twitter. The differences people on Twitter bicker - where people on truth, would be more likely to have more uplifting comments, and positive re-truths!
This forum on the other hand, specifically to have conversations. I don’t think you can compare the two. They’re two different business models!
You make a solid point. I like the original posts on Truth and find them to be a good source of additional information. What motivated me to post this was the fact many comments on Truth have nothing to do with the OP.
Maybe one thing I am not taking into account is this might be intentional? Even without bots there are people who are on a site just to make noise.
Yes I think you’re right. There’s always going to be noise somewhere. Even here. It’s just we are so ultra focused, the noise sticks out like a sore some. And we call it out.!
Truth is a mimic of Twitter. There weren't any deep conversations on Twitter. Now if there is a social media doppelganger for Reddit (more than this has been) that is where I would expect to see deep conversations like we have here.
I really appreciate you anons. When I post something on a different platform from this one, I post the initial link, so that others can discover this quality source for information.
Well, for what it's worth, my observations are thus:
Truth: surface reporting that doesn't make MSM....like twatter before it became a lib shithole.
GAW: deep dive topics that churn good (and sometimes shilly bad) commentary; i.e. additional input like a community solving a jigsaw puzzle.
Conclusion: GAW is a unique place, but truth is where the heavy hitters reside; e.g. Trump. Without Truth, we wouldn't be getting a lot of topics we delve here at GAW...at least not easily. Symbiotic relationship.
I completely agree! It’s the way truth is set up that you don’t have a drop down chain of comments. I was intimidated at first to comment because your comment just floats out there with no reference. Now I will a bit more but it’s not as fun as here where you can play off of each other & joke around or add additional info. Truth needs to take a page from GAW on how to be social! Hope ur tsearcher cause i just added u!
I've had good results a few years ago running a site based on the discussion forum format. I was more of a Soup Nazi regarding topic hijacking. It kept the threads on topic and brought the forum higher search engine rankings.
In a large discussion forum you can drill down and find the topics you're looking for or want to participate in. Those topics are easier to find at a later date, and similar threads are grouped together.
These days, almost everything follows the Twitter format for short attention spans. The topic of the day gets some brief attention, and no matter how useful the comments may be, everything is buried when the next squirrel runs by. It makes the site more of a pressure release valve than a think tank. Perhaps that's by design. The powers that be wouldn't want Americans getting any serious ideas.
I would agree. It's a bit of an echo chamber right now and that doesn't make for terribly entertaining discussion. However, I suspect that will change as time goes on. It's still very early days for the TS platform and while I won't yet predict the disintegration of Twatter yet, the events of the past month have opened the door to Twatter being destroyed by class-action lawsuits (by both advertisers and users).
It will take time for independents and leftists to move over to TS and I look forward to that day as we now have a platform where we can truly redpill some of these people.
But at least for now, TS is an excellent information source once you're following the right people.
Spot on. Maybe partly because of the level of trust that has built up over the years on this site.
And the brilliance and commitment of the intrepid researchers.
I mostly don't participate in comments on TS because if you do so on a browser it won't take you back to your previous place on your timeline. It brings you back to the beginning, so you have to scroll, scroll, scroll down to where you were before. And I don't like using a mobile keyboard to post messages, although the app will bring you back to where you were on your feed. The issue has been reported, still waiting for it to be fixed.
Agree, and when I comment, it showed on my feed without the original post attached. It looks like random wacky comments.
If you click on said comment, it brings you to the original thread.
Ah, thanks.
Yeah, but what I don’t like is that it will give you a notification that someone replied to you when it may be a reply to someone else’s comment in a thread that has nothing to do with you. Pretty annoying.
Soooo annoying!
But then when you hit back to return to your feed, your feed resets and you have to scroll all the way back down to where you left off instead of sending you back to where you deviated from.
I learned to just open truths in a new tab to not lose my spot.
True. Feed also updates on the fly and can interrupt a video you're trying to play, etc.
I typically open in a new tab as well.
Yep yep! Hey while we're here, I'm not sure how to ask this lol. I pray daily, nothing formal, but I pray for forgiveness and also for guidance and strength. Since you're into praying as well, could you keep me in your thoughts the next time you pray? Going through an ongoing issue and I could really use a spotter while I bench press this thing.

I'd really appreciate that.

It's hard to enjoy "MAGA-level" commentary when you are used to "GAW-level" commentary. Surface versus depth.
Agree… this place has the depth.
And the girth. It's got the whole package.
I agree, it’s dealing with two different levels of patriot.
So true. Never stopped to think of it that way, but very true statement imho.
are you commenting and trying to start conversations yourself?
Good point. So far I have only a couple times. When I see the call comments have veered off topic I stay away.
Not like I should, admittedly. Are you on there and what are your thoughts?
Im not on yet.....dont want to get bogged down and my current system for consuming and disbursing info is working.....
I'd be interested when you do. I really think it's the mix of Normie MAGA people and Anons. Clearly many of the MAGA folks have NOT a clue what is really kicking. It's kinda different for me.

I still come GAW first every day to find out what’s going on and read the discussions. No better place I have seen.
It's the nature of a platform for the masses. Lowest common denominator and level of discussion always surfaces.
My childlike reply, it just feels like a popularity contest over there
That and the feed doesn’t actually feed you everyone you follow. I have to go searching for posts every day
I agree. That’s why back when I thought social media was not evil, I didn’t like twitter either. It’s not conducive to discussion.
Also TS has the same “wide exposure” as twitter, fb, etc so you get all walks of life. Here the people are all cool and worth talking to, minus the ones who intentionally come here to cause problems of course.

I try to post things from here but now there’s enough anons on that news seems to well rounded but not as intimate as GAW.
People don't like leaving multiple footprints with the same identity, understandably so.
I also want to use my actual picture because it makes it more personal, but being in the leftist public education field and having been doxxed and forced before on reddit without even using my picture, it dissuades me.

Wish we had a background we could use to identify each other! It was a little shocking at first to see people faces instead of their pepes!
I sent you a pm did it even send?
Shit it posted as a comment. Let me resend that.
I think it will take a while for people to LEARN how to converse on social media
I mean look at what they are used to FB and Twitter
Very true, all social interactions get better with practice and it shouldn't be a surprise that being able to talk freely again is a liberty that needs some amount of reacquainting with.
Bad habits to shuck, good ones to pick up again.
Personally never had much interest in twatter. The ideal for me is a spez-less reddit clone as an anon
It's so dumbed down I can't take more than short bursts. It a bunch of normi grandparents posting bad memes and stupid "train conductors" There is no good info to be found on there, there is no intelligent discussion, it a bunch of Trump lovers posting at each other. Im hoping it will mature as a platform the more people get on there. Im not trying to be negative, but in its current state it's pretty much worthless imo. I still spend the majority of my time here and 8kun.
Agreed. I have followed back people who post the bad memes and train conductor threads and know just to scroll past. I will eventually cull my list.
Agree! The great thing about GAW is being able to see and contribute to a conversation-
I don’t think it’s a conversation forum . It’s a post forum - just like Twitter. The differences people on Twitter bicker - where people on truth, would be more likely to have more uplifting comments, and positive re-truths!

And DWAC stock would love it
We here have self selected. We want to know.
Truth seems clunky. Reminds me of Gab.
I don't know what you'd expect from a platform made up of mostly iphone users
u/#topkek
I’m not on Truth.
I really appreciate you anons. When I post something on a different platform from this one, I post the initial link, so that others can discover this quality source for information.
The main person I go there for is Steve Inman....he cracks me up and I need that.
THIS is home ..
Blessings frens...
OP is a faggot.
wait, wrong website.
kidding aside, you should check out minds.com as well. same kind of "polite disagreement" feeling you get here.
Well, for what it's worth, my observations are thus:
Truth: surface reporting that doesn't make MSM....like twatter before it became a lib shithole.
GAW: deep dive topics that churn good (and sometimes shilly bad) commentary; i.e. additional input like a community solving a jigsaw puzzle.
Conclusion: GAW is a unique place, but truth is where the heavy hitters reside; e.g. Trump. Without Truth, we wouldn't be getting a lot of topics we delve here at GAW...at least not easily. Symbiotic relationship.
Truth is still full of normies lol. Most of them would auto pilot reject what we discuss here.
I don’t bother following people who only like and retruth. They add nothing but duplicates to my timeline.
I completely agree! It’s the way truth is set up that you don’t have a drop down chain of comments. I was intimidated at first to comment because your comment just floats out there with no reference. Now I will a bit more but it’s not as fun as here where you can play off of each other & joke around or add additional info. Truth needs to take a page from GAW on how to be social!

100% this is why I haven’t really used Truth. This site is much better
I agree. TS so far seems to be very clunky. Hopefully, it will evolve as this site has.
I would agree. It's a bit of an echo chamber right now and that doesn't make for terribly entertaining discussion. However, I suspect that will change as time goes on.

Spot on. Maybe partly because of the level of trust that has built up over the years on this site. And the brilliance and commitment of the intrepid researchers.
I agree! My comments on Truth suck! I figure so few people read them, I give very little thought! Will do better!
My main disappointment with Truth is that it's blocked for people from outside the US.
I cannot access it from the UK.
Q was open worldwide and without login.
Voat was open worldwide and without login.
GA here is open worldwide and without login.
Truth isn't.
I'm not able to rate conversations there. From my perspective they just don't exist.
I barely go on truth since it feels like I’m on Reddit or twitter.
It feels like Gab. At least Reddit and Twitter have a variety of topics. Unless you want to talk about right leaning topics, forget about it.
Agree completely. I can’t use Truth for more than 2 minutes.
I mostly don't participate in comments on TS because if you do so on a browser it won't take you back to your previous place on your timeline. It brings you back to the beginning, so you have to scroll, scroll, scroll down to where you were before. And I don't like using a mobile keyboard to post messages, although the app will bring you back to where you were on your feed. The issue has been reported, still waiting for it to be fixed.
Truth needs to be more than just a copy of mastadon. It needs some unique features like Gab.
That makes sense.
