Donald Trump says that Truth Social is “somewhat of a phenomena.” It's a surprisingly accurate boast — if you compare it to other alternative social-media sites, not Twitter. _NYMarg writes
But Trump’s opening assertion about his troubled social-media network was somewhat accurate . On Tuesday, November 1, the New Yorkthat while Truth Social’s various business problems have put its long-term survival in doubt, the site itself has “only grown more influential in conservative circles ahead of the midterm election.
The website had 1.7 million unique visitors from the United States in September, according to estimates from Similarweb, a company that monitors web traffic. That barely registers as competition against mainstream sites like Facebook and Twitter. But it towers over Truth Social’s closest social media rivals, including Gab, Parler, Gettr, MeWe and Minds, which averaged about 360,000 unique visitors from the United States that month.
While it’s too soon to say whether Musk-led changes will prompt an exodus from Twitter, at the moment, it seems like Truth Social may have limited opportunities for growth. Last month, the Pew Research Center released aof seven of the biggest alternative social-media sites: BitChute, Gab, Gettr, Parler, Rumble, Telegram, and Truth Social. It found that only 6 percent of Americans get news from at least one of these sites and that no single site is used for news by more than 2 percent of U.S.
Perhaps connected to that, Americans who have heard of these sites but do not use them as sources for news are skeptical of them. When asked for the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about alternative social media sites, people in this category commonly cite inaccuracy and misinformation, political bias and the political right, and extremism and fringe ideas.
