Gab already forked Mastodon, and it's not clear whether Truth Social would surpass Gab in popularity. 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): https://code.gab.com/gab/gab-open-source
So basically Truth Social can do the same thing and be compliant?

#42Trump’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.

"My wish is that media gives proportionate attention to the many thriving, interesting, well-moderated, non-fascist Mastodon servers that are enabling healthy communities across the web before focusing on one doddering fascist's vaporware social network.
Given that this is unlikely to be a request that media honors, at the very least make sure your story gives equal emphasis to the violent fascist agenda, and countless deaths, that the person behind the new social network enabled, before delving into its photo sharing features.
And by contrast, the wonderful @tinysubversions has, for years, been leading a movement to create healthy, supportive, pro-human, independent social networks with efforts like https://runyourown.social that are home to thousands of thriving communities. Each deserves coverage."

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.
Well, Truth isn't so much growing as it's collapsing.

Even if you are unconcerned about your soul, morals, or ethics, tech workers at TMTG are surely ending their careers. Who would employ them after that?
