I'm on Twitter. I'm on TruthSocial.

On Twitter I see tweets from a wide variety of people.

On TruthSocial I only see the same people.

How do I see non-public posts on TruthSocial.

I tried to register on truth social but it required a cell phone number to accept a text message for confirmation. Bad idea.

It’s going to take time. You need to follow as many people as you can. TRUTH does a good job at suggesting people for you to follow. Over time you will come into more contact with their followers who you can then follow and start seeing additional “TRUTHs”.

Follow as many people as possible on the outset. Then, start to weed the ones you either don’t really follow or not that much.

You’re probably not going to follow more than thirty people regularly anyway, so it shouldn’t be too hard to get dozens and then weed back to the most interesting ones for you.

You can search for #freepers and find a bunch of us on Truth. Also, post a message with the hashtag #freepers so others can find and follow you.

I've developed a very healthy and informative feed over on Truth Social that is mostly free of clutter, trolls and other annoyances (that I had on Twitter all the time).

First rule: You need to start following a good number of people and then fine tune as you go along. Start with the obvious newsmakers like Donald Trump, Kari Lake, Gregg Phillips, Charlie Kirk, Dan Bongino, etc. Look for the verified red checkmarks on those account as there are still some Truth accounts posing as these people who are fake. Truth is doing a great job weeding them out but there are still some fake accounts popping up.

Then follow your fellow Freepers as much as you can as well as any Twitter users that have opened accounts on Truth.

I follow about 2,200 accounts (maximum you can follow is 7,500) which is more than enough to provide a substantial feed.

Then start digging into the comments on the threads that come on to you feed. You will find a lot of like-minded people who are not famous like the red checkmarks but they bring interesting content to the table (like a lot of Freepers here). Follow them as well and also see who they are following as likely they will have a curated list of worthwhile accounts to follow.

Once you build up a good feed, you can switch focus to adding content. By doing that, you will attract followers yourself and they will RETRUTH your content to their followers. Be sure to interact with people who respond favorably to your content. It's the polite thing to do and it helps you to build your audience.

You will occasionally run into trolls. Just block them as they will only distract you.

Some accounts are annoying in that they post repetitive things over and over again or they latch onto these "follower trains" which is nothing but noise that will clog up your feed. You can either unfollow those people or you can "mute" them so that their posts no longer show up on your feed. I only use that option when the account is following me and I don't want to be rude by un-following them. So I mute them instead. Which is still a little rude to be sure, but at least I'm not hurting any feelings as they will not know that I am muting them.

I was on Twitter for many years and I am already finding Truth to be a much better experience overall. It does take a little bit of work to get a good feed going but it's well worth it. Also, Truth is adding features all the time as it's still a brand new platform (not even a year old).

My only knock on Truth is that it is still almost all political. In order for them to scale to Twitter size, they need to broaden their content to be more than just politics 24/7. There is some progress being made. For instance, country singer John Rich premiered his new song on Truth and it went straight to number one on the Billboard Country charts on the strength of Truth Social! We need more of that kind of thing.

Sure would be nice to see Truth Social stock get back to $100/share. Upon news of more federal government investigations, the stock plummeted and is now around $30/share.

It's obvious the Biden administration intends to harass Truth Social or shut it down.

I'm a bit disappointed in truth. I follow as many of the same people there as I can that I follow on twitter but many aren't on truth. Some are but don't post. Any that do post, post the exact same things on both platforms.

Then there's the trending box which is absolute bs.

That hasn't changed since 2000 mules came out yet I never see those #hashtags used in any "truths" and I never see any actual hot/trending topics in the trending box. #AZ or #Arizona of #Kari should have showed up yesterday but didn't.

Looks like they're finally getting close to having an Android app so maybe that will help.

Of course that might mean it's months away at the speed of truth. I don't see how it takes years to create an app, especially for the Mastadon software that truth is built on because there are already existing apps for connecting to the Mastadon platform.

Client apps for mobile devices, desktop computers, and web browsers interacting with the Mastodon API have been released for a range of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.[11][33] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(software)#Technology

So far, it's mostly a platform for Trump and his most diehard groupies and some who've been kicked off of twitter and decided to go with truth over gab.

For what it's worth, here's who I'm following. Maybe if we all share our following list, we can build our own lists up using each other's lists.

Keep in mind, some of the above accounts never post anything. Steve Inman posts interesting short videos. Bad guys getting taken out, America's Funniest Videos type videos etc. Touring Britney Griner's New Mansion.

Search the hashtag #Freeper or #FreeRepublic to see which of us are on there.

Who needs it? Why bother? Twitter or Truth Social.

I can’t get on. Did the password-reset thingie, but don’t get the email. Screw it.
