  This paper presents the first data-driven analysis of Gettr, a new social
network platform launched by former US President Donald Trump's team. Among
other things, we find that users on the platform heavily discuss politics, with
a focus on the Trump campaign in the US and Bolsonaro's in Brazil. Activity on
the platform has steadily been decreasing since its launch, although a core of
verified users and early adopters kept posting and become central to it.
Finally, although toxicity has been increasing over time, the average level of
toxicity is still lower than the one recently observed on other fringe social
networks like Gab and 4chan. Overall, we provide a first quantitative look at
this new community, observing a lack of organic engagement and activity.
