Random prediction: Donald Trump will reactivate (engage with) his Twitter account once he is returned to the White House officially as the Potus.
Musings: I just joined Truth Social. Never thought too much about TS due to not being able to connect with it. An immediate reflection as I signed up and logged in for the first time, and rolled through the recommended accounts to follow was that TS is possibly like the home base, just as Voat was for anons after the Reddit purge of r/GreatAwakening, or like here for many old goats, etc.
TS doesn't yet have anywhere near the reach of some other platforms. But the recommended accounts were by and large a LOT of the people I'd want to be following on any platform. So perhaps, I thought, TS is first and foremost Home Base, where Maga-type Freedom Oriented folks can connect, follow and network, as a base for then moving out in to the broader social media sphere, where in many cases the battle is/was being waged against the DARPA-funded platforms and their controllers.
And leaping from that thought, I then thought, it's pretty cool that Q+ himself, the Potus with the Mostest, is heading up that Home Base, safe, secure, and with a dedicated platform. It's not quite the same, but it feels the closest we might get to having Q+ drop in on the Q research board all the time, or be posting here at GAW via an anon account.
It's his platform, it's peopled with his people (by and large) and it's secure.
Sure, I recognize that in some ways, it's very likely that TS is a bit of an echo-chamber. But that's OK. To some extent, we all live in a combination of echo chambers and expansive vistas.
pros and cons of hanging with your own kind
A close, unified family will be a sort of echo chamber where you share the same values. That's a good thing. But, if you are well-balanced, you'll also be out there, interacting with a wider community where there's more diversity in the viewpoints, and you can make a real contribution in terms of offering alternatives or opening people's minds.
A church can be an 'echo chamber'. So can a community. And 'echo chamber' emphasizes a negative aspect that naturally follows with being associated with your own kind. But it need not be a negative. Having strength, unity and solidarity 'at home' gives you abilities and options that are simply not available to folks who are constantly struggling just to find a bit of understanding, or camaraderie, or moral support.
In any case, the Boss can very well hang at TS because, after all, in this phase of things, he's just a 'private citizen', right? Sure, a 'former' president, and leader of a yuge movement, but officially, a private individual nonetheless.
However, when once again, he wears the official mantle of POTUS, that means he has a specific obligation to the entire population of the United States. He's there for ALL of them, and not just those who vote for him.
Thus, I suspect that when DJT is inaugurated for the next administration, he'll re-boot his Twitter account, and begin posting there. I don't really think it would be quite good optics for the President to post solely on his own private platform, aka TS.
I don't think he'll leave TS at all, and he may post there things he doesn't post on Twitter, but when he steps back in to that official role, I think that Twitter will be there waiting and ready for him to raise it to a whole new level. And I strongly suspect that Elon is there working to prepare for that day.
I have been much more focused/interested in Twitter since the beginning of the year since I'd never been on it before. Truth Social has sort of become an afterthought for me, I post but it's the last place I post. I do interact with a few accounts there though. I was shocked yesterday when I glanced at my Follower numbers, hadn't been paying any attention . They shot up basically without me doing anything. There are 10 times more people following me on Truth than I ever was "allowed" to have on FB.
