    I wonder what, if anything, will by done about this by those in charge of the app.

    Depending on how many “users” are actually scammers, a deletion of such accounts would lead to a decreased user count. Considering Dementia Don’s obsession with bigly numbers, such an action would probably upset him. Besides, as other social media sites have proven, deleting scammer accounts without doing anything to deter them would simply become a game of whack-a-mole.

    Highlighting tips to avoid scammers is what a lot of companies would do. But this is “Truth Social.” Informing their users in order to protect them from scams would give away their own game. (Or do nothing, since so many of these users are already too gullible to function.)

    Even before any of that, taking action requires admitting that they have a problem, which doesn’t fit into the modern GOP handbook.

      Just include suspended accounts when publishing user counts. Like how Trump leaves his shoes on when he gets measured for a physical so people will think he’s actually 6’3".
