Trump-released social media app
Truth Social is a social and communication program launched by former US President Donald Trump. This app offers a new alternative to popular social media platforms, which have banned Trump in the past. It is free to download and install. However, as of this writing, users need to sign up for the waitlist.
Truth Social offers the same experience as other social networking apps, such as Facebook and Twitter. Here, you can create a profile, share your thoughts, and see what other users post. You can also build a following. The app only re-branded the names of the features.
What is Truth Social?
Its developer dubbed Truth Social as America’s Big Tent social media, a new way to describe inclusivity. This means users of different beliefs can enjoy freedom on this platform. Whether you are a die-hard liberal, a proud libertarian, or a staunch conservative, you can share your opinions without the fear of being banned from the app. You can have an open and honest conversation with users without discrimination.
The app allows you to express your personality through your profile. Here, you can add your avatar and background. You can also build a connection with other users by following them or having them follow you back. Aside from sharing your thoughts, you can also read others through a Truth Feed. The posts in your feed are brought to life with the help of thumbnails photos, links, and more.
Truth Social comes with a search function, allowing you to search for people, organizations, and news outlets that interest you. Moreover, you can stay engaged with people by activating your notifications. However, as mentioned, the app requires you to enlist yourself to the waitlist before you can start creating an account. You can do so by filling out the form posted on Trump’s website.
Should you download it?
All in all, Truth Social is yet another social media alternative. The app offers just about everything that other microblogging platforms offer. With this, the experience will essentially be the same. Although, it promises to give users complete freedom when sharing their thoughts, especially about their political ideology. However, as it is relatively new, the community you can engage with will be a lot fewer.
