Traffic on former president Donald Trump’s Truth Social plunged 29% in just two months as hundreds of thousands of users abandoned the site amid a broader falloff on right-wing websites.
Right-wing media watchdog The Righting reported that Truth Social drew just 2.85 million unique visitors in October, down from it peak of 4.02 million in August, citing Comscore data.
Notably, traffic dropped even as Google made the Truth Social app available for download in October, after blocking it for several months due to insufficient content moderation.
The user plummet coincided with the height of the midterms election campaign, which failed to produce the “red wave” expected by many conservatives.
It was not just Truth Social that saw fewer users. Other conservative friendly social platforms also lost traffic, The Righting reported, with Rumble down 28% from a year ago to 6.59 million users, MeWe down 24% to 1.25 million users, Parler plunging 65% to 404,000 users and Gettr traffic dropping 61% to 294,000 users.
Parler’s traffic collapse came as Kanye “Ye” West announced in mid-October that he would buy the “free speech”-driven social media platform from parent company Parlement Technologies.
In contrast, that new users are signing on to Twitter, which he took private in late October, at the rate of 2 million per day.
Earlier this month, Musk lifted the ban on Trump’s Twitter account that was put in place after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol, but the former president has so far not shared his thoughts on his once-favorite platform.
