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.

      same.

      sure, Americans are tired of him… some even hate him… but do they really HATE him enough to go vote? to change their personal politics?

      I don’t think so. not yet. energy and food prices have to keep going up a lot before we get to Nixon or Orban levels of disgust.

      or Trump would have to reinstate the draft or something similar (that personally impacts large numbers of conservatives and centrists).

    Why did anyone use it in the first place… He’s the only one I’ve ever heard of that uses it. Is a 40% drop like 4 people?

    Once Twitter was bought out by Elon, the writing as on the wall for Truth.social. It only got initial traction because Trump was banned from Twitter. Once Twitter was yanked violently to the right into X, there was no need for Truth.social, as both systems are effectively providing the same propaganda to the same audience.

    It’s gotta be exhausting using a social media platform whose content is 100% politics all the time and its entire existence is in itself a political statement. Like, people complain about politics on Lemmy but at least you can sort of just ignore it and scroll past it. Yes, it’s invasive, but there are places where political discussion is pretty much verboten, especially the casual conversation areas.

    Meanwhile, I doubt there’s a single post on Truth Social that isn’t politics-adjacent somehow, or if it isn’t it quickly becomes one as people praise Trump for the good things happening in their life or curse Trump’s enemies when bad things happen to them. “Took a big shit today. Real satisfying. God Bless the USA and DJT.”. “Anybody notice how chip bags are mostly just air now? We should prosecute the democrats for this.”.

    Surprised anybody still uses the platform, tbh.

      You forget that these people find the very existence of brown and black people exhausting. As a result, their stupid little safe space being full of political nonsense is still less stressful to them than the real world.

    You can tell by looking around their lips, eyes, and the places where they put their hands on their forehead that the fake bronze they apply to their face is just a silly facade for a weak and frail old person. They are nothing without their bronzer. Their base would instantly defect upon seeing their true self. Everything about them is a fraud.
