We here at Truth Social would like to formally extend an invitation to all the haters and losers of Hexbear. As per President Trump's request, this platform holds free speech as its highest value. Antifa's soup cans can't hurt us here. Come engage in the free marketplace of ideas!
Our developers have informed me that they have identified several paths that make it easy to create sockpuppets. Until these are fixed, please refrain from using throwaway email websites like tempmail.net to sign up for accounts. Using a VPN will similarly circumvent IP tracking. We understand that those of you who are interested in Truth Social are true patriots and will hold the line against cyber attacks. Also, this app is only available in the US. Luckily, VPNs don't allow you to change locations on the fly as far as I know...
I understand that some of you are more technology-oriented, so I have requested an overview of our tech stack.
truthsocial.com uses the following technologies:
- nginx/1.21.3 (I'm seeing some people getting a message saying it's 1.21.5)
- Gatsby 2.32.12
- React
- Matomo Analytics
- Cloudflare
- core-js
- webpack
- LottieFiles
The frontend for Truth Social is based on Soapbox, which is an ActivityPub frontend whose largest instance is Spinster, describing themselves as a "women-first social media network". Mastodon threatened Truth Social late last year that our code had to be available for public use in order to comply with the Mastodon license, so the entire Truth Social source is available here. I am not sure why it's only available as a zip file rather than in a git repository. Someone has begun to track changes in this code in this repository, but that repository hasn't been updated in 3 months and has nearly 200 branches, so it may be abandoned
but that repository hasn’t been updated in 3 months and has nearly 200 branches, so it may be abandoned
idk about whether its been abandoned, but all the branches are just a github bot making PRs to update dependency versions.
I believe it is your right to own a gun, to point it at me, and to call me a fascist
If you are a fascist who enjoys exhibits, you are free to post because all are free to post. Please sign up today.
I am getting reports that the option to "Join the Waiting List" on truthsocial.com is giving a 405 Not Allowed error. Rest assured that signing up through the iOS app is fully functional. We are receiving a large influx of patriots and Truthsayers attempting to sign up, so please keep trying when you receive an error.
Edit: I actually can't get past the email confirmation lol
Any previous statements referring to this rollout as a “shitshow” do not reflect the views of Truth Social
This is a great bit.
Do I have to use the app? I'd rather use my computer.

It looks like the help page is being updated regularly throughout the day today. The version of nginx has also been updated. It's definitely a busy day for the dev team
