    As mediocre as Twitter is these days, I’m pretty fucking sure there are more lies in Truth Social.

      I think the OP is factoring in number of users. Lies that no one sees don’t matter as much.

        Yeah it’s all about orders of magnitude. X has over 100 million daily users while Truth Social has around half a million (and that’s the highest estimate I saw). Even if only one percent of X users are spreading misinformation that’s more users than if everyone on Truth Social is spreading misinformation.

      Twitter has 150x more active users. Not only are there more liars, but lies spread farther and faster.

      Truth Social is just Trump’s uncensorable mouthpiece. Name a single prominent account on Truth Social that isn’t Trump…

        I think its got at least a couple of Congresspeople / Gubernatorial accounts on it. There are lots of prominent names within MAGA world (Laura Loomer, Michelle Malkin, etc). Also, there’s whatever madman is still posting under Herman Cain’s account.

      I think the lies per person are probably higher, but the total number of lies might be fewer.

      More in proportion, but less in actual numbers
