Truth Social (also spelt TRUTH Social) is a social media platform developed by Trump Media & Technology Group, an American media and technology company founded by former US President Donald Trump in October 2021. The Truth Social platform is built on Mastodon, a free and open-source distributed social network.
Following his ban from Facebook and Twitter in 2021 as a result of the 2021 attack on the United States Capitol, former US President Donald Trump raised the possibility of creating a new social media platform. Trump launched “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump,” a web page where he posted short tweet-like announcements, in May 2021; it was shut down after less than a month, and Trump’s senior aide Jason Miller said it would not be reopened. . A few months later, Donald Trump announced Truth Social, which was launched recently on February 21, this year.
Since the launch of the Truth Social app on February 21, it has attracted a massive number of users, to the point where a massive waiting list has formed, with hundreds of thousands of people waiting just to register on the social media site.

In recent days, much of the waitlist has been cleared and users have successfully registered for an account.
