Title needs a correction. It is AGPLv3, not GPLv3. I suspect this was posted today because Trump's new social network was outed as using Mastodon, likely illegally. https://www.vice.com/en/article/5dgm5k/truth-social-is-masto...
Trump’s upcoming social network app is using Mastadon. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-accused-ripping-code-s... Not trying to get political, but this site is obviously going to be the biggest Mastadon showcase.

Unlike Truth Social, Gab actually complies with Mastodon's AGPLv3 license by publishing its source code, though in an obnoxious way (password-protected archive file):
How do things stand on account portability? If I sign up at a mastodon server, build an audience and network there, but later if the server admin changes its policies in unfavorable directions, can I migrate to a new server with all my contacts and reputation intact - even without the old admin's cooperation?
Background: I've been building a growing commercial social network. There are things about what I want to do that made that the better option for what my target market is. With that said, I really like what Mastodon has done and as far as federated and open social networks go (ActivityPub!). It's in a class of its own IMO.
Please tell me you're not building Truth. If you are, you should stop right now and consider the effects that your actions will have. No amount of money is worth your soul.

It's not really clear that it will be a showcase if it hides its Mastadon roots and doesn't connect to the Fediverse.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's just a stolen and license-violating Mastodon, not much building involved
I try and avoid any news about that person so I don't know much about Truth other than it exists, how is it violating any license?
