Truth is USA only, so X has a much broader reach.

Does Truth Social actually not allow users outside of the US?

That’s hilarious. Do they do it by IP? Because I’d imagine a lot of their users might be troops stationed over seas. Course the military probably has WANs with .mil addresses that everyone uses.
