I'm not beating around the bush this entry: I wanna see about getting a Truth Social account set up.
Some of you might look at me a little funny, but don't worry, I've got a pair of reasons, starting with... 

1. [This IS supposed to be Trump's platform of choice, right?]
Perhaps unsurprisingly, I've got more than a few criticisms of the current Mr. President right now. I personally don't think 
he's focusing on actually helping the people he promised to help, could potentially drag us into yet another long war we REALLY
don't need, especially after the distater that was the Middle East clusterfuck, and he seems to be more of a hot air balloon 
than someone people voted into office for.

If he doesn't wanna stick around on Twitter (or X, or whatever new branding Elon wants to use for the website)... well, he's 
gotta be SOMEWHERE in Truth Social, if the accounts reposting his stuff over there are to be believed. I don't really think 
he'd wanna bother with a website like Matsodon or Bluesky anyways, and he'd probably get kicked out of both within minutes.

Could be an advantage to some, and uh... best of luck to you if you wanna post there fulltime, but me? I wanna be heard; What 
better way to do that than to voice them in Trump's home turf? (Well, it was probably Twitter before, but then Elon and Trump 
had a big 'ol slapfight, and uh... I'll be honest, I don't know how longer DOGE's gonna last.)

2. [Gotta keep the wits sharp somehow.]
I would not be surprised in the least of Truth Social turns out to be a gargantuan hive of crap like "THE WHITEY 
MCWHITERSON MUST BE THE MIGHTIEST MIGHTY TO EVER BE MIGHTY", or maybe "EVERYONE WHO ISN'T FOLLOWING MY RIDICULOUSLY NARROW 
SUBSET OF CHRISTIANITY MUST DO A DIE", probably a little bit of "Let's collaborate with people who want to murder us; This is a 
very great idea that will make all our haters mad and make us look Cool(tm)!", no doubt about that.

It also wouldn't be surprising if I find most of who I see over there to be about as pleasant as coarse sandpaper to the delicate
bits. Heck, there might even be more than a few genuinely awful people over there; I know for a fact websites like 
Fundies/Racists Say the Darndest Things was documenting them in bulk at some point.

But, if it's true that there's nary a good person to be seen on Truth Social, why not get firsthand experience as to how the 
mind of a reactionary, alt-right, and/or groyper works by challenging them in one of their home bases? Of course, there's gonna 
be more than a few pitfalls to keep in mind, but we'll get to that later on in this entry. 

Pitfalls, and Other Stuff That Factors into my Reluctancy

* The bread 'n butter of a modern reactionary, is, well, reactions, dear Watson. Without the constant supply of 'liberal 
meltdowns', 'SJW crashouts', 'far-left freakouts', or other terms used to describe anyone uber-progressive having an extremely 
strong emotional reaction... they've don't got much to draw on. (Not that I think the left-wing equivalent has a lot to draw 
from themselves, but that'll be another topic for another time.) But, being the social species we are, it's only natural to get 
extremely emotional sometimes... which a potential reactionary could use to their advantage.

* Someone who isn't reactionary + A website designed to house reactionaries ~== trouble. Yeah, you probably had that thought in 
your head, and hey, same here. There's a non-zero chance that Truth Social moderation could totally get pissed at me for 
disagreement, and give me the boot faster than you could BLINK. Considering a lot of the far right rely on some form of 
Envangelical Christianity, I can't imagine a lot of them leaving a lot of wiggle room, if any.

* I'd be extremely dissapointed, but not surprised, if anime titties were 150% banned from Truth Social. Hell, I'd be somewhat 
surprised if something like VeggieTales was even allowed within Truth Social.

Yeah, it'd definitely be an extremely risky move; The prospect of bumping into a nasty hive of alt-right is a non-zero chance, 
however slim Truth Social's proponents claim it to be. But, what's a life worth living if you don't divulge in a little danger 
from time to time? It might not be an entirely horrible life, but it'd be a lot more grindy and boring, that's what. Plus, the 
potential, however tiny, to potentially convert an alt-righter into a kinder, better person... it's gotta be worth a try, even 
if it might be moot in the long run.

Besies, didn't Oddworld cast a bad light onto those who do nothing while evil festers or somethin'? I don't wanna sit to the 
side while society's situation gets worse (even if it only really seems that way), and I wanna be able to use the 
Constitution's Admendments to it's greatest potential. I personally don't think staying in somerwhere as buttoned down as 
Bluesky (or a good chunk of Matsodon's networks) would be a good way to go about this sorta thing.

But, like any risky move, this'll be something I'll have to think about for a bit. It's possible I might be an idealistic fool, 
but honestly I'd rather be cringe than a prisioner of my own mind.

If you wanna give any advice, or maybe you just wanna tell me that touching Truth Social in any capacity is a monumentally bad 
idea that will undoubtedly end my social life in hellish flame, although I already have my contact info in the "Start Here" 
page, I'll leave behind my email for posterity:
