Looking into Truth Social - Day1:
- It's heavily Mastodon + Soapbox based - still an understatement.
- It seems to have some weird side-wide reputation system, to ensure maximum echo chamber - might not apply to checkmarks.
- Graphic design of the main page doesn't seem to be Donnies passion - especially not when it comes to phone layouts.
- Registration is very confusing and seems to be working only through the iOS app, if one is "lucky" enough to get through the never ending queue and smart enough to register via an email, as phone registrations allegedly don't even work.
- Many people can only access the site by using a VPN, as the anti-raid system is way too sensitive and often throws out users just trying to view the site normally.
Conclusion : Everything about the site is such a mess, that I couldn't even be bothered to get an alt there, to troll the 5 people, who managed to somehow get in, despite all these problems.
@thecanine pfff! You already gave it much more attention that I would have ever had. I know it might make some people curious, but when it comes to Covfefe, I fully pass.
@thecanine aaaaand implementing Mastodon's own ActivityPub is a mess, XD
@david The original plan was to join as everyones favorite American hero Jeb Bush and try to either shit-post him into the White House for 2024 or get banned from the site doing so. 😄
I wanted to do it day one, so I could grab some really good username for it, like "@potus47", which would make it even funnier. Sadly since the site is too bad to even get in, this political redemption for Jeb might be doomed from the start.
