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.
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.
