Former US President Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social, which launched just a few days ago, is battling technical glitches and adding new users in the early stages of its rollout.
As Engadget reports, the site, which has billed itself as a free speech alternative to Twitter with more lax content moderation policies, has already taken some users off its platform.
Other users are struggling to access the platform, which now has nearly half a million people on its waiting list, the report said. According to Mashable, a user named Matt Ortega was rejected from Truth Social based on his username @DevineNunesCow.
A parody Twitter account of the same name mocked former rap Devin Nunes, who is currently the CEO of Truth Social’s parent company. Some users have pointed out that Truth Social’s moderation policy is much stricter than Twitter’s, despite claims of refuge from Big Tech’s censorship.

Unlike Twitter, Truth Social users can be suspended or booted outright for posting content that moderators deem to be false, defamatory or misleading.
While Twitter has imposed sweeping restrictions on COVID-19 and election misinformation in the past, it regularly lets other types of misinformation fly by. Truth Social users may also be banned for posting content that moderators consider “offensive, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable.”
Twitter is selective in how it handles disputes between users, unless it includes targeted harassment campaigns, the report said.
