Truth Social - what a fucking joke

Does your wife cut your food and wipe your ass?
No. Does that have anything to do with the topic? I thought you were talking about MAGA and something called Truth Social? And now you want to talk about things you wonder if my wife does for me? It’s hard to keep up with you and your varied interests.
 
Tech rollouts are usually bulletproof.
LOL. The "we are gonna kill big tech" guys obviously didn't read the details of their TOS. Any ideas what causes a service to be rate-limited?

The TMTG guys might have missed the mark if they were planning to dethrone the kings of tech:

Registration fails, APPLE to blame
Since I don’t have IOS13.0 I was redirected to download an older compatible version for iPhone 6 running IOS 12.5.5
After attempting to register to log in, I receive a pop-up msg saying “Unable to create the account because...” and nothing further!
This really limits the rest of us who cannot afford a “new” iPhone running the latest IOS; as for APPLE, you too are complicit in limiting software update for older devices to force consumers to upgrade their equipment in order to meet profit margins— shame on you too!
So I cannot register on this platform via my iPhone 6 after waiting for months!!!
I am not rating any contents as I cannot begin to use the platform; I’m rating APPLE for underhanded tactics and lack of “fair trade morals”!

From a review on the Apple App Store.

This is the only topic you don’t step on your dick and you need a spot to shine after a rough few years.
Quick primer - those who lease out cloud resources typically enforce quotas on the consumption of those resources to protect themselves and their customers against fraud and/or unexpected cost surges. The default quotas are generic and a customer can negotiate with their provider to set more realistic limits based on their projected requirements. The provider may decline that request, typically because the customer doesn't have sufficient evidence of ability to pay or in very rare cases if the underlying resource is allocated (meaning the newest and faster AI processors are under higher demand than supply allows for).

So either TMTG picked a cloud provider (Rumble) who was pitifully unprepared, or the Truth Social team bungled the predictions for demand, or they couldn't show sufficient credit worthiness to get the allocation. Pick your poison. None of it is a "tech problem."

Sorry Dave.

Did I offend you by referring to the tech industry as tech?

Ehh, you need any win you can create in your world.

Good job.
 
Wierd, for such a terrible, roll out, DWAC stock is up today while all the other media stocks are taking a beating. TWTR & SNAP are down 3%, FB is down 2%. Seems the investor class doesn't share your sentiments.

I would run as far as fast as I could from FB if I owned it. AAPL and GOOG killed FB. Well, I guess you could say the failure of the FB phone killed FB.

DWAC could be a great ride (just like any roller coaster) if that is your kinda thing.

No argument, I wouldn't invest in any of them. But if their rollout was so terrible, you'd think its associated stock would be affected. That's generally how that works, yet thus far, that's not the case.

What was it PT Barnum said?

In any case, my analysis is this is an inexcusable failure by the Truth Social team. Just spend 2 minutes clicking around the website - 404s abound - inexcusable defects on launch day.

Inexcusable? Is this your very first product launch day that you've participated in? I've been watching best of breed (Sony, Amazon, Activision to name a few) companies have launch day fiascos for 20 years and they all get 'excused', as long as they get fixed.

Edit: Just a note, it doesn't even have to be a launch day to have screw ups either. In today's news for example:


Edit 2: Also Today

Sad really. Why can't MAGA do anything right?

Yeah. My first launch.
 
Didn’t have a problem downloading the app. My understating is that the site won’t be up and running until the end of March.
Investors don’t seem to mind the glitch in signing up. DWAC up 10% right now in a down market.
