I get the gesture, but it looks like you have to make an account to be able to see posts? Unfortunate side effect is this will bring more accounts to the platform

California Governor Newsom joins Truth Social to call out Republican lies

Sounds like a waste of time to me. Those people have their heads up their asses and have no desire to pull them out.

This may be in response to this to see how fast he gets banned. Newsom has retweeted Ron before so he definitely saw this
There's also a chance he'll just get banned outright because conservatives only believe in free speech when it's their kind of free speech (where racism is okay, but making fun of conservatives is forbidden). You can get banned on Truth for literally just making fun of Truth or anyone that runs Truth.
Truth Social already censoring content, bans user who made fun of Trump Media CEO
The @DevinNunesCow strikes again!

It doesn't. They either ban him (proving his point) or have to let him point out the lies openly and loudly (exposing people to the truth). Either way he has the advantage here I think.
ya all those gavin newsom fans who think oh wow gavin newsom likes truth social better join it
The "don't legitimize the platform!!" stuff ITT is funny. You think anyone liable to join Truth Social is going to do so because they heard about it from the governor of California?
lol

His social media is surprisingly genuine feeling. A lot of it seems off the cuff. Or staff does a really good job of selling it as genuine, could be. But yea, this is a whole other beast that I'm not sure he would want to actually deal with.
When your competition joins a platform as a means to use it to debate or spread a message, ya it gives it an air of legitimacy it didn't have before.
It doesn't have to attract anymore new users than just Newsom to do that. Whether it's enough to matter, who the fuck knows but the less the better.

I genuinely like most of Newsoms tweets and responses to stuff. I have notifications on for his tweets. No way I'm signing up for this shit to see his posts lol
And banned in 3... 2...
No point in trying to infiltrate. The place is just as ban happy as r/conservative.

This is just idiotic. You're not going to win an argument with those people, on that platform, and if no one can view these arguments unless they're registered there, at best this just boosts this idiotic platform's numbers for a publicity stunt that will likely backfire.
I don't mind the gesture since I don't think Truth Social can be made legitimate any more than Trumpism already is, and people who go there are likely already radicalized, but it would make more sense to mirror the content somewhere that it isn't as likely to be deleted and doesn't require a Truth Social account. Make it harder to escape the problems with the ideologies espoused there, showcase to those outside how Truth Social silences dissent, but don't plan for this effort to be able to continue indefinitely.
But I'm also not paying his salary, so maybe people in California might be more annoyed at this.

Actually, if he'll be banned (which I think he will), the right wingers will have to hold that as the same thing as twitter banning trump. What are they gonna do? Say you can ban someone for lying? Then twitter was free to do that with trump. This will provide some ripe ammunition.
The governor of California joining Trump's social platform to dunk on Republicans is not going to materially affect anything, let alone give Truth Social more legitimacy among an electorate that already hates Newsom. I swear, the way this forum talks about signal boosting so often borders on hysterical.
Truth Social is literally the social media platform of the Republican party's idol. Any time Trump posts on it, mainstream media outlets report on it. Gavin Newsom joining to debunk Republican talking points isn't "signal boosting" anything. It's already boosted.
He's better of going on parlor for that dumb idea. Supposedly there are actual real human los- I mean users there.
Interesting. Will they dare to ban someone that high profile, who isn't being combative, and only posting verifiable facts?
The true politics: campaigning for and achieving office, being in a position to effect change, then going back to posting
