Here’s the crux of the article in video form:
New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on February 22, 2022) follows:
Heavily inspired by Twitter, Truth Social is a recently launched social media platform created by Trump Media and Technology Group. The website was released a day ago on February 21.
It is based on Mastodon, open-source software that uses the AGPLv3 license. Truth Social is also available on iOS as a beta app. And in a matter of few hours, it is on Apple app store’s top charts.
Truth Social Sign up not working
However, those interested are now reporting (1,2,3,4,5) that the Truth Social sign up is not working.
While some say they are getting a ‘405 not allowed ‘ error message, others say they are not getting the verification code. Below are some reports from users who are unable to sign up for Truth Social.
So I decided to sign up for a Truth Social account. What a disaster. I had to register 2 accounts because the 1st one just timed out repeatedly trying to login. The 2nd the email confirmation went into promotions and then…the wait number. Hilarious.

Truth social has said they sent me a sign up email for the fourth time now in two days—still nothing in any mailbox. Is yahoo mail stopping it, or is it not being sent? I’m sick of messing with it

Truth Social users moved to waiting list
That being said, those who were able to sign up are getting moved to the waiting list. Judging by the wait list, it looks like people might have to wait a while before their account is created.
Below are some reports from users who were able to sign up for Truth Social but were put on the waiting list.
Anyone else sign up for Truth Social only to find yourself a 300k deep in a waiting list with new spam sent to your email?

My Truth Social account is finally set up…..I’m #264,859 on the waiting list. LOL!! Who has a higher number?

Unfortunately, Truth Social is yet to acknowledge or say anything about the sign up not working or users being moved to the waitlist.
We hope the developers are able to resolve the aforementioned issues as soon as possible so those interested can access the social media platform once again.
As always, we will be keeping an eye out on the matter and update this space as and when we come across new information so stay tuned to PiunikaWeb.
