Worse than Truth Social? Press X to doubt.

That would require that it be a social media platform, as supposed to a money laundering front.

As long as the users are there and active, it's a social media platform, too.

Except the only user is Trump himself

Truth Social is just a way to get money to Trump. Scam/money laundering/bribing. With max a few million/year in revenue I wouldn't compare it to actual social media apps.

It's got a pretty large and active userbase though. I'd call that social media.

the word "cesspit" was used elsewhere in this thread and I think it's a remarkably useful word

I think Truth Social is more of a fascist media app than a social one
