I think the OP is factoring in number of users. Lies that no one sees don't matter as much.

Yeah it's all about orders of magnitude. X has over 100 million daily users while Truth Social has around half a million (and that's the highest estimate I saw). Even if only one percent of X users are spreading misinformation that's more users than if everyone on Truth Social is spreading misinformation.
