Why can't they make a web app?
I think what google is doing is in a sense an unfair application of market power and is anticompetitive, but on the other hand, I don't really see what specifically Truth Social would miss out on if they just deployed as a web app and circumvented any tech company gatekeeping
- duxup 4y agoThey have a website.

Asking the target userbase to install a progressive web app is not very attractive given the name. Might as well call it "Demoncrat" web apps as far as Truth Socials users are concerned.
