Biden Campaign Joins Truth Social to Troll Trump: ‘Converts Welcome!’
Biden Campaign Joins Truth Social to Troll Trump: ‘Converts Welcome!’
The Biden campaign has joined Truth Social, the social media company founded by Donald Trump, to troll Biden's once and likely future general election opponent.
“We just joined Truth Social, mostly because we thought it would be very funny,” it explained. “Follow us there for truths and retruths or whatever they call them.”

Literally endorsing the opposition’s propaganda platform is bold as it gets now I guess
They'll be banned within the next week.
Which is exactly what they want. If they can get trump to ban them they’ll easily show that they are a bunch of snowflakes who are full of shit when they talk about free speech.
Conservatives don't mind being blatantly hypocritical, though. They'd support it with some rationalization. Just look at their subs on reddit, for example... constant whining about being 'censored' when they're downvoted on other subs, but their subs would be 'flaired users only' and when people dared to disagree with whatever BS in other posts, very swiftly permanently banned.
They are, indeed, irony immune....
It's especially disingenuous because removing a post by definition isn't censorship, but one could argue that only allowing comments by flaired users is much closer to it.
removing a post by definition isn't censorship
What dictionary are you reading, my guy?
Right, it's pre-censorship. Also the definition of an echo chamber. "Only people who are verified as agreeing may reply"
I’m tempted to sign up there now.
Honestly I think it's fine, smart, and like they said, a little bit funny.
If some portion of Trump's audience is on Truth Social, it makes a reasonable amount of sense to go there with targeted messaging for them. Posting clips of Republicans complimenting Biden or criticizing Trump is a good way to stir up a bit of division amongst Republicans, and it shows that the Democrats aren't afraid of Trump's echo chamber.
On the plus side, it won't be long before they get banned for trashing Trump, and that'll only show what completely spineless bitch asses the far right are.
I doubt Biden will get banned. It'd be much better to just shadowban or at least limit the amount of exposure. You accomplish the same thing without looking like you are censoring.
Banning will give lots of Republicans cognitive dissonance since this platform and other right wing platforms that are slowly being legitimized like Rumble heavily use free speech in their marketing.
Easy to ban and ignore regular people, but banning a president will inevitably end up on the news. Maybe Trump will decide that the media exposure will be good anyways, though. Any PR is good PR has essentially been Trump's main strategy since 2015.
I don't think this is endorsing. Are they telling people to use it?
You’re right it’s not literally endorsing, but it’s going to undeniably bring more traffic for better or worse
I doubt it. Liberals aren't joining that cesspool just because Biden's trolling there, and the conservatives aren't gonna join up because of Biden.
I think if you were going to join truth social, you'd have done it by now.
Yeah, and what happens when the doors to their echo chamber are opened? Will they get pissed that there's people that don't think like them and leave? I dunno, but it should be entertaining.
About as good of a endorsement as taking the stage at a Trump rally and laughing into the mic indefinitely while they boo. That is to say, it makes a fun story but it's not exactly a endorsement.
I mean, I’ve already seen comments alleging users here joining to watch, which is bringing traffic and engagement so the platform is being fed. That’s really all I’m on about, it’s minute but it’s all I thought of when I saw this.
