Operations > Growth Problems
There are two recent NYT's articles to add. Make an update of the title to just say Growth. The NYT's suggesting Surging Growth would be just as time-stamped:

- The section is now caled "Audience growth", which is neutral. — The Anome (talk) 21:41, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
Extreme Far Right
Instead of labeling it "Alt-Tech", why not Extreme Far Right? Alt-Tech seems like a vague header. And besides breaking down the definition of Alt-Tech all you get is Alternative Tech. As if there is a non-alternative or non-derivative form of technology, to me it makes "Alt-Tech" seem appealing, and seems to be putting a positive spin on Far-Right/Nazi tech. Is a Zune considered "Alt-Tech" because it wasn't as popular as an Ipod at one point? If Instagram or Twitter only had 100k users, would that be considered "Alt-Tech", is MySpace now Alt-Tech? If determining what is alt-tech by metrics of popularity then virtually everything that is not Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Youtube, would be Alt-Tech. Twitter recently changed it's policies to allow hate speech because the new CEO is extremely far right, is it Alt-Tech now? I think the article should be changed to state something like, "Truth Social a platform popular among the Extreme Right," or "Platforms like Truth Social allow content that is seen as harmful to minorities"or Platforms like Truth Social spread unverified claims. Pretty much all social media platforms and future platforms are derivative in nature, so I think the term "alt-tech" is not helpful. 71.9.141.71 (talk) 20:08, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Please cite a reliable source that explicitly says Truth Social is "extreme far right" for further evaluation. Articles should be created and edited based on reliable sources rather than on editors' opinions. Matt Smith (talk) 01:54, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- You should probably read our article on "alt-tech" given it clearly establishes it as catering to the alt-right (read: Nazi's) Dricoust (talk) 18:54, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- "Alt-tech" is correct here, as we have numerous reliable sources all using the term. And yes, the term "alt-tech" refers to the "alt-right", which absolutely does encompass the extreme far right; but the consensus of reliable sources does not use the term "extreme far right" to refer to Truth Social, so we don't use it here, either. — The Anome (talk) 15:04, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
- That's an opinion based on an error. The platform itself is neither Right nor Left, it is the content that makes the platform and based on an overview of the content there is no evidence that Truth Social generally leans Left or Right. Editors should never try to influence or sway their audience as it leads to biased content, like this extremely partisan piece about Truth Social. 2001:569:7617:FE00:387C:967B:1600:3B28 (talk) 21:51, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Biden re-election campaign The Biden–Harris 2024 re-election campaign created an account on Truth Social in October 2023.[231] It announced on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that it had created the account on Truth Social because it found the idea "very funny".[232] Numerous observers characterised this as an exercise by the Biden campaign in trolling Donald Trump.[233][234] Two days after the creation of the account, Axios reported that the Biden campaign's Truth Social account had more followers than that of the Trump campaign.[235]
This is blatantly a complete falsehood and an out and out lie. Truth Social----i.e. How about you actually go look on Truth Social like a genuine news source should. It will take all of 3 minutes to reveal how utterly false this is.
IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE A TRUMP SUPPORTER TO TELL THE TRUTH -- BEING HONEST AND FACTUAL SHOULD BE YOUR STANDARDS 2605:59C8:402C:1110:C0A3:7A6E:B77E:6010 (talk) 15:52, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Its unlikely to be a lie, it may well have been true at the time of reporting. As of now its 117k for Biden campaign vs 251k for Trump campaign. --Denniss (talk) 16:27, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
