Its a fork. So its the codebase which they’ve modified so it’s the technology of mastodon but not actually mastodon. Think of it as a drink that someone has put posion in. The drink itself is harmless and maybe even healthy and nutritious but the poison changes it entirely
Of course they don’t its Trump, if there was even a sliver of a chance that he could get sued he would pass a law banning copyleft liscenses and retroactively applying it to himself
Isn’t Truth Social running Mastodon?

I’ve read somewhere they originally took the Mastodon server codebase, but it’s been heavily modified since and not compatible with ActivityPub.
Isn’t Mastadon AGPL? So legally if that was the case they would have to share sources (if Trump cared about the law)
Yes, and they have “shared” it. After repeat requests, they sent a zip out, and it was posted here:
https://codeberg.org/TruthSocial/truth-social
Certainly out of date by now though.
I doubt they care about the law.

Yes, but without federation
Yes, that was my point
