Active users of President Donald Trump’s social media platform have dropped like flies.
Trump’s Truth Social site, where he threatens other countries and posts self-aggrandizing AI slop, has experienced a dramatic drop in daily active users of its mobile app since last July, according to the Financial Times.
The outlet, citing estimates from the digital market intelligence company SimilarWeb, reported that the mobile site’s daily active users have plummeted from 436,000 in July 2025 to only 261,000 one year later.
I wonder what percentage of those left are bots?
I’d be more curious what percentage are reporters that feel they need accounts
I wonder what finally drove away the people. Maybe some new rage bait bullshit has captured their attention? Hard to accept they’ve improved.
Guessing a lot of old people either died or lost their login info.
Hahaha good point!
The problem is the type of people that join TS (or any other alt-right tech social service) are not actually happy preaching to the choir. They need people to argue with. So they inevitably go right back to twitter, threads, reddit, etc. when they realize they aren’t getting the negative attention that they’re used to receiving for trolling on mainstream social platforms.
Anecdotally, they seem to especially looooove FB and Nextdoor.
FB is so deeply enshittified that any time I check in there (really fucking rare, let me tell you) I seem to only see a lot of posts from the Crazy Uncle Liberties in my life sandwiched between so much sponsored content. FB was never perfect, but it’s so much worse now.
And by the time I joined Nextdoor, it was already chock full of Karens trying to slip in their conservative (and racist, but I repeat myself) bullshit in between complaints about what “the kids are up to these days”.
I just made a Nextdoor account a few weeks ago out of curiosity. Quickly regretting it. My neighbors are all the most paranoid fuckwits on the planet. Maybe if they weren’t such nosy busybodies they wouldn’t be so scared by things like black people existing in public or literally any unidentified substance they find being fentanyl.
It’s not even the racist ones that disappoint me, I just kind of expect that from living in a community inhabited by mostly white middle class retirees, it’s like the ones that are so devoid of critical thinking skills that they jump to wild conclusions based on nothing, and apparently that’s just the way those people live their lives each day.
Found a bit of roadkill? Someone must be torturing and murdering the neighborhood pets and put their bodies on display! Call the police!
Found a one dollar bill tucked underneath your welcome mat? Someone must be casing your house and put that there to see if/when you collect it to know what times you are home! Call the police!
et cetera, you get the idea. I wish this was hyperbole, but the two examples above are real.
Yeah, honestly, it brings me back to my childhood and having to rub elbows with a lot of very, very stupid people, because of the area I lived in and how the stupidest kids tend to be loudest (and same with their parents) and so on. I could not be as selective then as I can now with who I choose to associate with.
Back then, things were done in meatspace and with analog tools. But it was quite stupid then, too. For example, the “blue stars” urban legend (before we knew of the term urban legend) was something just swallowed hook, line, and sinker - by most parents, by cops, by teachers…meanwhile, ~10 year me is wondering, wait, what? LSD is not even addictive, WTF. Also, kids back then had next to no discretionary income…why would you try to “hook” them on a non-addictive substance.
Same thing with so much stupid shit - the notion that the Satanic Church profited from arcade games. Or that a groundhog really did determine how long winter would last (kids my age absolutely fucking believed that well past the stage, and I think at least one parent seemingly did, unless they were just trying to amuse their junior high age child).
I guess all I’m saying is that Nextdoor amplifies this, but I’ve also had lots of evidence that there are just a LOT of very stupid people.
That’s why fasc talk shows always have a fake lefty stooge for them to boo.
Exactly. They need an out-group to feel superior to.
Can’t they just do what we do, fight each other?
RWAs might have their beefs, but given their proclivities (the “A” is for authoritarian, after all), they tend to want a Big Daddy to look up to.
Anyone joining up on TS, unless they are there to just tap into what the crazies are up to are likely part of the cult of Donvict and probably are nearly all RWAs.
Any self-styled “true conservative” (lol) that truly does not have RWA tendencies is not going to last very long, say, arguing against Big Daddy’s tariffs and how they mess with the miracles of free trade.
Says the lesser leftist, your ideas aren’t as good as mine
sez you!
Additionally, they left Twitter in the first place because they perceived it as too liberal. X doesn’t have that reputation.
I think X also said Trump could come back, making his exile entirely self-imposed now.
Maybe he doesn’t know it was renamed.
Hopefully it’s because they were boomers and died
omg yes pls
Honestly a lot of social media is bots.
I found one, guys!
