Honest question: There is a lot of talk about Truth Social violating the AGPL license. If it it a work in progress and not yet public, do they need to share their source code, or do they need to share it once they launch?
If Truth Social is running Mastodon-based code on a server, even if it is a private beta, the source code needs to be made available under AGPLv3 to anyone who can access the service. > d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require r…

Mastodon has a "profile move" feature that moves all of your followers (on instances that support the protocol) to your new account. However, it will not move your toots (posts). All of your account data can be exported, and everything except for toots (and media) can be imported. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

#87Trump’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.

#88There are lots of files at the root level, which means I have to do 5/6 complete scrolls to get at the beginning of the readme. I see this pattern a lof with Go project. I've always wondered if it has an impact on the popularity of the project. If anybody from Github is reading this, that could be a blog post idea.

Yup -- either the devs don't know what that means in English slang, or they have a very juvenile sense of humor. Either way, that alone seems like it would present a pretty serious obstacle to anyone taking Mastodon remotely seriously.

There's no evidence provided anywhere at all that any of these screenshots are of Trump's new platform.
