Truth Social is having access problems [1]

After going nuts trying to figure out what was going on. Clearing cache, using different browsers and a VPN, I asked Google if Truth Social was having access problems. And I'm not the only one.
This just happened about two hours ago. Trying to get to Trump's opening screen where there's his miniscule profile and all the posts, newest at top, I get the screen above. It's like when Trump dropped the bombs on Iran and Iranian hackers did a DDoS attack on his server and nothing was working. I can get to old links in my history and they come up fine.
If you try going to Donald's Truth Social on the link below you'll get the above screen.

Here's a link to a Donald post on 7/7 starting about the FBI. Again, the old links work fine.
Found that JD Vance has an account, but I can't get to his opening page either, but I can get links to posts to come up.
truthsocial.com/JDVance1
Is Vance's opening profile page.
This is a link to a post he did 8/13/2024. This comes up fine.
It's not the same as the Iranian DDoS attack. That one, I would get one specific post, but it was dirt slow. This time a post link is instantaneous.
At first I was going to ask for help figuring this out. Now that I know that I'm not the only one, this is just a report of the tech problem.
Donald has figured how to bork his own platform really good. Probably it was some techie installing a security update. Or somebody gave Trump Admin privileges, for whatever reason, and he tried to make Truth Social Great Again. TSGA, like saga. The Trump saga continues.
There have been upgrades that regularly bring up "This method requires an authenticated user," and "Slow down! You're moving too fast!" On the second one, it will then display "No Truths" below.
How come the Iranians haven't hit his crypto exchange yet? That would really hit him where it hurts, in the money. Truth Social is just pride.
As of 2:15 PT, the problem persists.
