apparently they used open source mastodon[0]. the fediverse[1] is about to get "interesting". its like that scene from a Western movie where a bunch of black-dressed men ride towards a serene bucolic ranch and the family inside looks through the window with a sense of foreboding [0] https://joinmastodon.org/ [1] https://fediverse.party/

They've disabled signups now, but yes, they were using Mastodon. Proof: https://hackers.town/@thegibson/107137582573450090 > the fediverse[1] is about to get "interesting" The Mastodon community has dealt with this before when Gab came along. The majority of servers will just block the Trump instance. And that's if they even enable federation. I suspect they won't.

Also rather ironically, it forbids excessive use of capital letters: > 20. upload or transmit (or attempt to upload or to transmit) viruses, Trojan horses, or other material, including excessive use of capital letters

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I’m trying to imagine how the person who wrote that sentence thinks excessive capital letters are related to viruses and Trojan horses.
