Trump's Truth Social App Plummets in Traffic, Sees 93% Drop in Signups Since Launch Week

The would-be Twitter killer has drawn only 1.2 million installations, according to Sensor Tower

Former president Donald Trump’s Truth Social app is seeing a 93% drop in signups and similarly steep decline in traffic after a rocky rollout last month fraught with technical issues and an extensive waiting list for new signups to actually use the service.

After going live on President’s Day, the Twitter-lookalike app saw installs decline by more than 800,000 since its launch week, according to Sensor Tower. Installs on the Apple app store this month have fallen to about 60,000 per week, based on early estimates.

How many of those signing up are anti-Trump trolls looking to disrupt the site.
I had a friend who spent several days on Free Republic trying to turn posts into discussions of how only Trump supporters were smart enough to see the validity of Flat Earth arguments. They finally kicked him off when he started posting false statements from Trump saying that round Earth claims were ‘fake news’ just like claims that he had lost the election.

I always though the whole Qanon thing was just a #chan thing.

Just a very successful set of trolls, trolling the world.

First, it's a business venture & there's little evidence TFG knows how to make a business succeed.
Second, this is evidence that the "movement" has moved on from the mover.
The concept is out there, the crazies control the right, and a figurehead becomes increasingly less important.
They already have their seditionist platforms & simply don't need another one, no matter who is behind it.
