    As mediocre as Twitter is these days, I’m pretty fucking sure there are more lies in Truth Social.

      I think the OP is factoring in number of users. Lies that no one sees don’t matter as much.

        Yeah it’s all about orders of magnitude. X has over 100 million daily users while Truth Social has around half a million (and that’s the highest estimate I saw). Even if only one percent of X users are spreading misinformation that’s more users than if everyone on Truth Social is spreading misinformation.

        Name a single prominent account on Truth Social that isn’t Trump…

        I think its got at least a couple of Congresspeople / Gubernatorial accounts on it. There are lots of prominent names within MAGA world (Laura Loomer, Michelle Malkin, etc). Also, there’s whatever madman is still posting under Herman Cain’s account.
