A social media platform isn't built on a blog. They are two entirely different things. Not that Trump--or apparently his supporters--understand that.

Explain to me the different between a "blog" and a "platform."

Quick. Let's hear it.
More “back and forth” and room for discussion on a platform.

As well as many likely not even knowing about it on top of people dropping many social media type outlets.
For example this here (City-Data) is the closest I come nowadays.

That will obviously take a bit of time, especially since the other monopolies are actively suppressing him.

It's hilarious that anti 1st amendment liberals rejoice in this.

HAHAHA!
It did not grow. The blog was shut down for lack of interest.
Your prediction was incorrect.
Wanted to come back to an old thread to point that out.

There's only one category of people in the US quite stupid enough to donate to a self-declared billionaire's political campaign. I can laugh at his deroute for free. The wide-eyed insistence among his loyalist that it's all going 100% according to plan just adds to the entertainment value.

The blog might be Trump's version of the 67' Oldsmobile rusting out in the driveway. Dreams of restoring it, but neither the skill or energy to actually get the work done.

Like a 757 quietly rusting away with one engine missing?

Facebook suspends former U.S. President Trump's account for two years

(Reuters) -Facebook Inc on Friday suspended former U.S. President Donald Trump from its platform until at least January 2023 in a decision that has been watched closely for signals on how the company will treat rule-breaking world leaders in the future.

The social media giant's independent oversight board in May upheld its block on Trump, which was enforced in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol over concerns that his posts were inciting violence.

However, the board ruled it was wrong to make the ban indefinite and gave it six months to determine a "proportionate response."

Trump's suspension was effective from the initial date in January and will only be reinstated if conditions permit, Facebook said in a blog post.

"Given the gravity of the circumstances that led to Mr. Trump's suspension, we believe his actions constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols," Facebook said.
