Last Friday, the free speech video platform Rumble on Friday announced that Truth Social, the social media platform created by the Trump Media & Technology Group, has successfully migrated its website and mobile applications to Rumble’s cloud infrastructure and onboarding of over 1.5 million waitlisted users began in earnest on Saturday.
On Monday, free speech proponent Elon Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion and, after dropping down Apple’s App Store list during its beta period, Truth Social began climbing Apple’s Top Chart to again hit No.1 on Tuesday.
The app originally became available to download shortly before midnight ET on February 20, 2022 and the service remained in beta through Saturday, April 23rd and quickly hit the No. 1 spot in Apple’s App Store.
The app remains iOS-only, available only on the App Store for iPhone, but former President Trump said at a Save America Rally held in Delaware, Ohio on Saturday that a version of Truth Social for Android is in the testing stage and would be available “soon.”

Truth Social is a very good app. It’s fast, with excellent video (Rumble). Users are onboarding quickly and posting a lot of content.
President Trump needs to start posting Truths now that the waitlist is being moved to active users.
I want a web version next!
Figured you’d be the first to post on this. Now that you losers have your own place to suck on all the lies you like to spread, perhaps you can leave us alone here?
‘We’re gonna make memes of you Leftards until you cry. And then we’re going to make memes of you crying. Get the F out of here.’
See, that’s the entire problem with you people. You’ve been convinced that politics is all about “getting the left” when it should be about working together. And you can try but you won’t make me cry. My crust is thick 🙂
Show me how YOU worked together WITH Trump.
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
See, this is the entire problem with people like YOU. You talk about working together right after you say this garbage…
“Now that you losers have your own place to suck on all the lies you like to spread”
Stop pretending you’re right and you’re better. You’re NOT!
How can I work with Trump? He wasn’t interested in working with anyone. His way or the highway which is entirely my point. Don’t live in his country anyway.
I’m not pretending or even suggesting I’m right. But what I’m saying is that we all need to work together, the moderate left and the moderate right or nothing will get done. Let the far left and the far right drool in the corners, I’m not interested in them or the lies they both base their existence on.
You nailed the FALSE NARRATIVES of Humdrum precisely.
Nothing but excuses and asking the other side to do, what he and his Leftist cabal will never do.
Dismiss the DOUBLE STANDARD HYPOCRISY, yes done!…
My response to GOEB: who said:
“Nothing but excuses and asking the other side to do, what he and his Leftist cabal will never do.”
The right both in the US and to a lesser degree in Canada have no platform now beyond “giving it to the Libs”. This is especially true with the GOP who don’t even pretend to have ideas on how to govern now so how can anyone work with that?
What I’m saying is that the voters need to elect moderates from both sides so they can work together but you have somehow missed that message in your overwhelming want to “own the libs”.
The simple fact is that moderates and progressives overwhelmingly win the popular vote in the US but gerrymandering and the Electoral College in the US make it look like elections are close when they really aren’t.
You can uppercase type replies back all you like but the basic facts are there and won’t change no matter how much you want them to.
My response to Humdrum Moon Wednesday, April 27, 2022 at 2:14 am
Your response was 100% deflection and FAILED to address my post.
Gee, what a surprise…
For some reason I can’t directly reply to GOEB but oh well.
Dude, I not only directly replied to your post but I expanded on my position which, simply put, so long as your entire political ideology is based solely on “getting the dems” or “getting the libs” then all you have governance by revenge which is no way to run any country. I have called out both the extremists on the right and the left for this and appeal to moderates to come together. But you, obviously, are not one of these people.
You can hurl insults at me all you like. Doesn’t bother me one bit. Just makes me laugh and prove my point.
“Working together!” That’s funny. The D Party has been about “getting the right” for 4+ years. It’s a competitive situ…I get this and this will never change, but when deception and illegality become part of the game–Russian collusion involving all parts of govt and media–working with THAT side is stupid. Trump is, was and can be distasteful, but the taste of another distasteful personality; add to that the pounds, years and depth of her malfeasance, a pretty unhappy crowd on the other side has reason to be upset, as does the majority of the citizenry.
Your crust isn’t thick…you are speaking as someone that’s been caught.
Well, it’s pretty obvious there was Trump-Russian collusion. He’s still praising Putin.
As for getting the other side, well, it can change. Vote in moderates who will work together. Much to the chagrin of the right here in my country, our two centre left parties have agreed to work together and guess what? Things are getting done.
Anyway, as much as I enjoy poking you folks, I have work to do. I hope you find some truth soon 🙂
Let’s not forget Mr Moon, all of the “working together” and the govt and media collusion on the left has resulted in a Mr. Num-num, ala Dingleberry, with Mommy as Assistant, for President. Say nothing of the toddler-speaking space-cadet occupying the VP slot.
Truthfully, he “campaigned” from a basement and said nothing to confirm he was presidential because of the left’s “working together” to limit awareness of his deficiencies…read: stick it to the right.
To a great fault, the R’s have been the come along-go along Polly-Anna Party.
That’s idiocy in itself. It seems like the patty-cake playground policy has/is changing. That will be good for everyone…if so. Why? Truth, honesty and reality might prevail. Derailing the Deception Party is needed.
Stating Trump-Russian collusion was obvious, based on what? Google searches? The news media? Career politicians? Sorry, but you just lost ALL credibility.
Regarding voting in Moderates, please tell me where I can find the book, “Great Moderates in History” because that is a book I want to read.
On the Russian Collusion BS here is the latest on the Durham Investigation. By the way it goes to trial in about a week in Federal court.

“You people”, “You losers”….your words. But let’s work together huh. GFY. Hard.
“You losers” means the far right and, actually, the far left. Neither are interested in working with anyone so they can take the advice you offered to me. 🙂
“President* Trump needs to start posting Truths now that the waitlist is being moved to active users.”
The absurdity of the year!
He will post Truths if he can find where to steal them.
The “My Pillow Guy” and Elon Musk teaming up to help Libs cry themselves to sleep.
Trump: too fool to fail?
Seams like many of his believers still get blinded by his absurd lies…
2000 Mules on its way wonder what they going to say ?
I’m glad that it’s finally up and running. I just hope that they keep it restricted to citizens of Apple’s home country, they are the ones truly deserving of this. Good luck.
Wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up first. You can go now and cry your Leftist eyes out regarding your sour grapes fantasy wish…
Ha! And the followers of the crazy liar can continue to shoot up bleach, if they have fanatically followed the doctrines of this supermegalomaniac fake president.
HI Alex, could I have, “It’s Just Personality–no he didn’t say that about bleach, you lie” for $1000?
Short memory… or selective memory, hm? This guy was (and still is) one of the biggest liars ever in history! He could not live without it.
But one thing is positive: nowadays many more people are aware of it.
I’m not sure how Gab, GETTR, Parler, etc. are going to make it now that we have Truth Social which offers everything the others do and more.
With Musk taking control of Twitter and the rise of Truth Social, free speech might finally be able to make a comeback!
As every clique migrates to its insulated echo chamber, except the paid propagandists, bullies and bots of course, each closed network media site will do fine. Twitter with less than 440 million “people” (mostly opinioneers and corporate press releases) isn’t included in the top 10 social media sites by user count. Just because every coffee shop has a tweety bird posted in the window doesn’t mean the platform has a world leading count of active users.
“Meta” controls Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram and others. More stickers in shop windows. Each of these has more users than Twitter, with about 4 billion users in total and huge ad profits from its user tracking and profiling. It spends $20 million per yer lobbying to ensure it won’t have too much legal accountability issues. Unfortunately for Zuck, nobody with a brain trusts them.
Tencent owns Wechat, arguably a much more powerful app. It dominates China with over a billion users and thus has inside track to worldwide dominance – and even scarier user tracking and governmental monitoring. It’s the “do it all” app model that most later apps/platforms have been trying to emulate.
ByteDance owns TikTok and Douyin and Toutiao, etc popular outside the USA. It also has questionable ties to China’s govt — for a total of 1.9 billion users total.
Alphabet of course owns Google, Youtube, Doubleclick and a ton of other tracking and adware as this site knows well. All tons more profitable than Twitter ever was or will be.
T Media Tech, LLC despite its recent surge of 75k iOS downloaders in the last week, has only garnered 2 million visits since Oct 2021, and one post total from its figurehead. It appears to be nothing more than a political rally tool with no worldwide appeal and, like many of His former businesses, poor potential for long term profitability in an already saturated market.
Then there is Apple, which pretends to be a hardware focused company but in reality pivoted years ago to be a services-first company, with subscriptions, an iMessage service that liberally borrowed from all the other social network tracking competitors, in-house ad agencies, and now even airtag trackers so that it knows physically where all its mobile users and their precious items are located. Very profitable for profiling and ads and very scary when that gets hacked.
I hope Musk enjoys his new toy. But don’t imagine for a second that a discussion forum will be improved by the half-baked (and very socially liberal) billionaire meddling with it. It’s not like he was a prime example of a useful poster. His many half truths, failure to follow up or provide data, and market-moving provocations all indicate serious problems with judgment. As usual the fans of Erratic Elon are projecting a future that isn’t borne by Twitter’s (nor Musk’s) actual performance. In all the political shouting, it seems most people missed the comments Musk shared about making Twitter “better” by developing new algorithms to rank and order tweets. Sounds like an imitation of Google, which posts what is most profitable to its ad and data-theft operations, not what the user necessarily wishes to see first. Authentication sounds like a nice goal, but then privacy will be gone. Perhaps this site can explain why it has never sought to authenticate its forum members. Then there is the edit button proposal, another thing that limited forums can do marginally well but large networks can’t scale effectively. No matter how you slice that one, it’s a coding nightmare and legal morass.
You won’t see any transparency in twitter algorithms, because many of them are patented or otherwise IP protected, and were developed to support ad revenue. Bye bye ad revenue if the coding is given away. No logical way to resolve all the other stuff that no site, including MDN, has been able to implement either.
Millions of Twitter users are upset today.
Not because they fear they will be banned or censored.
But because they fear the people that disagree with them may not be banned or censored.
It’s not hyperbole….It’s observable and objective to conclude the liberal’s thinking has little logic and is hypocritical. A long-term liberal politico and spokesperson on an essential American topic–today and historically–confirms and is broadly representative:
Big babies are doing what babies do…all over the country. Nap-time needed.
Interesting comment when you consider that the right, at least as represented by the comments on here, are only concerned with one line of thinking: What’s in it for me?
Wrong. Again.
The concerned Right’s one line of thinking is not “What’s in it for me”, but rather…
Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty, we’re free at last.
Yeah, when it comes to ONES’s own freedom of speech (read freedom), yes, it’s personal…”selfish”, if you will. Typically, it’s a indi concern and then applies to the broad/cultural application.
Just to reverse the table…what are liberals crying about today? Answer; it’s “what’s no longer in it for me.”
Can I give a big “DUH” to that?
What happens when bot accounts are deleted, and you don’t have fake outrage over stupid, non sensical crap?
Almost like people can engage in regular debate, only to realize that the resistance is completely gone.
“Where did they go?” they will ask.
Nowhere. They never existed in the first place.
How many douche bag Twitter losers whining about Elon Musk buying Twitter and are saying they are out of here, will actually leave Twitter?
About the same amount of Hollywood sh*t types that pledged to leave America after Trump was elected President in 2016 and are still here!
A shame! This Biff D.Tannen will again be filling posts with is absurd lies!
Ah, yes, Truth Social: the public restrooms of the internet.
In the name of ‘free speech’, do we think TS will let me post that Trump is a ‘Dumb Fxxk”?
No! Because for all these brain washed believers whatever is against Trump’s lies is “fake news”! It’s as simple as that.
Well, we all know that but sadly actual truth means nothing now. Even when you can prove Trump has lied then that proof is, as you say, discounted as fake news, as biased or justified with a whataboutism. Sad times we live in.
Get on Gab, the only real uncensored social media platform.
