Any web site or concept that feels the need to so prominently portray the word "truth" as part of its branding is obviously promoting lies.

Interesting that Trump reposted this:

It’s so clear that they aren’t releasing the files because Trump’s name is in there. That’s why they teased and didn’t actually release them earlier - it really pissed off their Qanon followers at the time. But now they’ve constructed into some 4D chess where that ploy was some kind of bait for the master plan to expose Clinton or something.

There is no truth on truth social.

That is exactly what 1984 is about and why it is such a dystopian novel.

The Ministry of Peace is their military, the Ministry of Love is their police state, the Ministry of Plenty rations food and supplies, and the Ministry of Truth is their propaganda machine.

The name contradicts their actions. Just like it does with TACOs propaganda machine.

We have a newspaper here in Italy called "La Verità", which translates as The Truth, and that basically confirms your theory.

Well yeah, that's the whole point. Only an idiot would believe that shit, it's their safe space.

I mean calling short posts "truths" really has interesting–and deeply troubling– implications, like that there can be many, or opposing truths...

Do I wanna know what the influx in traffic was for?

People wanting to watch Regina George and Space Karen’s messy break up. Everyone wants to see who’s getting custody of little JD.

Maybe they should fix it and push changes upstream to Mastodon.

I can't imagine Mastodon wanting any changes Truth Social has to offer.

Isn't that the truth. (pun intended)

There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
