"Report: Trump Is Blowing a Gasket Over His Joke of a Social Media Network...
...thus far, the actual social media network is on track to be a bigger flop than Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, and the Trump Taj Mahal combined...."

So here is our plan: we will keep actively watching the #TruthSocial psudo-failed-partial launch.
We know the early signs are that it is NOT federtating. But until it is fully and really launched -- MAYBE in March as they claim - we won't be assuming anything is final.
More to come. #IsolateTrump

So #TruthSocial seems live now but many reporting errors like this. Not clear if it is trying to Federate or not yet. #IsolateTrump
That didn’t take long. #Truthsocial accessed pre-launch. #isolateTrump

Heads up, everyone. Monday might be the public launch of #TruthSocial. If whatever that forked #Mastodon thing turns out to be tries to Federate, you all know what to do. #IsolateTrump #mastodev #mastoadmim #fediblock https://www.reuters.com/world/us/exclusive-trumps-truth-social-app-set-release-monday-apple-app-store-per-2022-02-20/
So at least 500 users are beta testing #TruthSocial.
And yes, if you read this the early testers are exactly who you would expect.
Keep wondering if folks will get access to this pre-launch, like they did the previous two betas. Or if we see any early signs of it attempting to federate.
If anyone finds anything LMK and we'll shout it out.
Hmmm. It's in beta somewhere (if late)... Keep wondering if some folks end up finding it again, like they got in early to the first two beta sites of #truthsocial
Shocker: #TrumpSocial launch delayed…
Claims are that #TruthSocial will launch by end of March, and that beta servers are live again. Last two times they were live, they were discovered as public and content shared. Any signs of beta now?
One of endless examples of our case -- When you isolate these groups they end up eating each other...
"Far-right social media alternative Gab CEO Andrew Torba on Monday attacked Trump’s venture and called the site 'not a free speech platform.'"
This has always been our case. Platforms like #gab
are like "roach motels" that alt-right voices go into and then over time fracture from within. They have every right to exist, but when isolated away from communities who don't welcome them, they wither...

If you joined this company and didn't expect fraud, then it's on you. #IsolateTrump
"A former nominee for director of the so-called blank-check company that plans to merge with Donald Trump’s social media start-up is suing. The director's suit claims he was frozen out of the deal in a 'brazen act of fraud.'"

You're telling the the maker of Trump Steaks, Trump University, Trump Airlines, and Trump Vodka companies might not be on the up and up? #IsolateTrump

"Support Popular Information
Trump's new media company is a $1.6 billion mirage..."
Huh, who would have thought?
"Trump’s ‘Truth Social’ company merger already under investigation by US financial regulators...
But in a 6 December filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, representatives of DWAC revealed that SEC officials have asked the company for 'documents relating to meetings of DWAC’s Board of Directors, policies and procedures relating to [stock] trading, the identification of banking, telephone, and email addresses, the identities of certain investors, and certain documents,' as well as communications between DWAC executives and representatives of Trump Media and Technology Group."
@conservancy Assume you all saw that the site appears to have gone live in beta form a second time, and that this too was open to the public and had end users access it? https://nitter.dasnetzundich.de/drewharwell/status/1451259053699653649#m
"Il fondatore di Mastodon Eugen Rochko ha anche detto ieri che ha intenzione di cercare un consulente legale sulla situazione, anche se non ha discusso una specifica linea d'azione. "Il rispetto della nostra licenza AGPLv3 è molto importante per me, poiché è l'unica base sulla quale io e altri sviluppatori siamo disposti a dare via anni di lavoro gratuitamente".

Now the independent picks up the story:
"Eugen Rochko, creator of Mastodon, told The Independent that he had asked his lawyers to assess whether Mr Trump’s new Truth Social service has broken Mastodon’s copyright."
