I Tried Using Trump's New Truth Social App. Here's What Happened.

  • I signed up for Trump's new social-media app, Truth Social, after it launched on Sunday.

  • It took me five attempts to sign up and I received a string of error messages.

  • The app welcomed me as a "Truthsayer," but I couldn't contact any users or see any posts.

    The Truth Social source code is a modified version of Mastodon, so it won’t have the sort of young-project bugs that Parler did. That code is open source and available on the website. Vulnerabilities will likely be devops related or tied into the modifications. Links are on my profile.

      yeah. they're also just flagrantly violating the Mastodon agpl license, but it doesn't matter, because laws are for poor people.

      I'm also not entirely clear on how the site styling doesn't infringe on Twitter's trade dress.
