Gettr (stylized GETTR) is an alt-tech social media platform and microblogging site targeting American conservatives.[7][8] It was founded by Jason Miller, a former Donald Trump aide, and was officially launched on July 4, 2021.[9][10][11][12] Its user interface and feature set have been described as very similar to those of Twitter.[13][14]

The platform experienced issues shortly after launch, including internet trolls posting content that violated the terms of service, users flooding it with pornography,[15] and the brief hacking of some high-profile accounts.[16][17][18] Journalists have observed the prevalence of extreme content on the platform, including racism, antisemitism, and terrorist propaganda.[19][20][21]

By November 2021, Gettr said it had almost 3 million total users and almost 400,000 daily average users.[22] As of February 2022, the company said that its number of users had increased to 4.5 million.[23] According to market intelligence company Sensor Tower, as of February 2022 there have been 6.5 million global downloads of the Gettr app from the App Store and Google Play.[23]
