Truth Social looks almost exactly like Twitter (Jr. just shared Trump's first "truth"):

1. How soon until Twitter shuts them down ?

[Celerity]

2. How? Two separate platforms.

4. Some pretty hefty lawsuits

[Celerity]

5. What would Twitter sue Truth Social for? Posting social media from a scum they banned?

Unless those postings somehow materially harm Twitter, they have no actionable reason.

6. For duplicating everything in their design

There's a reason you don't see a million knockoff facebook designs as they're (rightly) sued out of existence.

7. Copying everything but the trademark.

Just as, this is not a Converse. Twitter lawyers will be all over this.

17. this seems like a pretty good case of theft of intellectual property

15. There have been "off the shelf"...

alternatives to all the major platforms for at least a decade. Anyone can buy them and customize them or use their existing themes which include looking just like FB, twitter, etc. No lawsuits for those programs so no lawsuit for this likely brief shit show.

3. Couldn't have sounded more Orwellian

unless the site had been named ‘Lies Are Truth.’

The screenshot-sharing campaign was clearly an endeavor to promote the upcoming launch of Truth Social. However, from a marketing perspective, it seems like a missed opportunity, primarily because there was nothing to promote.

Truth Social has still not launched. There is no officially launch date for when the social network will go live. A pre-order page on Apple's App Store for the Truth Social iOS app lists a Feb. 21 release date. However, according to a recent report from TIME, that date has since been pushed back to "late March."

One thing that is clear, though, is that Truth Social looks like an exact replica of Twitter. The posts all look like tweets, complete with similar looking reply, retweet, share, and like buttons. The profile page looks like you're viewing a user's account on Twitter. Perhaps the biggest difference is the dystopian renaming of "tweets" as "truths."

For a platform that's not even publicly available yet, Truth Social has already experienced its fair share of issues. A horde of trolls descended on an unreleased test version of the website on the day it was announced last October. These trolls registered fake Donald Trump accounts and filled the website with memes, such as "Pig Poop Balls."

9. Read it's going to cost 4.99 a week to use it

*Free* speech

11. Seriously???

That's insane, but I guess grifters are going to grift.

[demmiblue]

13. Damn!

A fool and their money...

[Initech]

10. Your favorite president? Umm.... no.

[PatSeg]

12. I know

He is so weird. Who talks like that?

[Initech]

14. And who refers to themselves as "your favorite anything"?

Maybe a host of a clown themed children's show?

[PatSeg]

16. Yeah, a "clown show"

pretty much describes his adult life. I've never known anyone in real life who talks about themselves that way. "Nobody knows _____ better than me", about pretty much everything. More disturbing, what kind of adults listen to that and worship him?
