Former President Donald Trump launched his social media platform, Truth Social, in early 2022, after he was banned from major sites such as Facebook and the former Twitter following the Jan. 6 insurrection. While he’s since been reinstated to both, he’s largely stayed off X, the Elon Musk-owned platform that was once his primary megaphone.
FILE - Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump speaks after voting in Florida’s primary election in Palm Beach, Fla., Tuesday, March 19, 2024. Trump’s return to the stock market could be right around the corner. All eyes are on a vote Friday by shareholders of Digital World Acquisition Corp., a shell company that is looking to merge with the former president’s media business.
“It’s unlikely that Truth Social will rival mainstream social media platforms any time soon. For many users, Trump is what draws them to Truth Social. For many more, it’s what keeps them away,” Muenster said. “But more importantly, it will be hard for it to rival X because of the way platforms work. Social networks benefit from scale: The more users are on one platform, the more it increases in value — that is called network effects.”Truth Social looks and feels a bit like X.
As part of an agreement that runs until February 2025, Trump has agreed to wait six hours after posting on Truth Social before he can post any “non-political communications” on other social media platforms Truth Social says it encourages an “open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.” But while it has touted minimal content moderation, afound that early users experienced “bans after selecting usernames or authoring posts that made fun of or criticized the former president and his allies.”
