I’m still waiting, it says I’ve been accepted but when they sent the email confirmation and I clicked it, it said the token had expired.....so I have no idea if I’m ever going to get on.

“I was told it had just sent a confirmation email - but it never arrived.”

That happened with me with my gmail email on I forgot what app (Trump related).

Tried several times over a few days, nothing. Then I tried my protonmail.com email, received it the first try.

GMAIL was blocking it.

I was suspicious of it from the beginning; since they added “truth social” had been added to the title, that confirmed my suspicion.

Me too, I preordered the app and thought we would get on before this. Like I said with the expired token on email confirmation I have no idea.

Just another Deep State / Big Tech conspiracy to hurt Trump and trumpsters, while maintaining their own dominance in social media and data collection / spying on the public.

I would not download this one or the actual one....use a web version only if they have one.

It wasn’t in my junk folder either.

I tried a different email account and that worked.

But my wait list number is 592782!

I guess it’s a good sign that they are so overloaded.

I finally got the email verification, but can’t get past there . The page it takes me to asks me to actually sign up but I keep getting “405 not allowed”
Very bad look for The Donald.

"Apple, desktop/web, then google play maybe"

I never did Twitter, Facebook, or any of the other sites. I tried Parler, Gab and Gettr, but only accessed them from my laptop...never put any of their apps on my iPhone. In fact, the only app I've added to my cell phone is Verizon's call filter, and I only use Safari browser once a day to get my Bing Rewards search points. Other than that, the phone gathers dust. I did delete my Parler, Gab and Gettr accounts last month, because I hardly used them, and frankly, don't understand what people see in them. I didn't sign up for Trump's new site when it was first announced, because I didn't want to be hit with daily emails, like I was when I donated to his campaign. I hate being bombarded with crap like that.

I'm not sure what to make of that. Are they saying cows have no rights to free speech?

I don’t know what’s involved with setting up a social network - so I’ll withhold judgment for now.

All the other big social networks started out small - here you have tens of millions of Trump supporters trying to sign up all at once - it might be a rather unique challenge.

“Just another Deep State / Big Tech conspiracy to hurt Trump and trumpsters.”
True. And another failure by the failed tech people. Trump Social will be bumpy for several months (because Big Tech hates it) and then take off by July 4th to eclipse Twitter.

There are so many libiot never-Trumpers, that I’d be worried they designed them to attack Trumpists.

Has the Maga App caused harm to anyone that tried to downloaded it yet?

Have you tried to sign up yet? I’ve been trying since Sunday, and all I get are 405 errors.
