I forgot Mastodon was on F-Droid, shoulda checked there first
Truth is actually based on Mastodon
Of course they started with an existing platform to save time and money. When anyone else does it, it’s a smart way to save time and money. When anyone related to captain cheese ball does it, it’s because he’s cheap as shit. I wonder if the devs ever got paid.
They literally violated the AGPL license of Mastodon and thought they'd get away with it.
Literally the only reason why we know it's based on Mastodon is because of some smart redditor forcing a page crash exposing the Mastodon error message warranting further investigation.
It wasn't until they got called out and got a formal notification of the breach in terms that it got fixed; because if they didn't with the 30days allotted time they would've been sued.
So they have a public repository now? I'd like to see that
Repo, no. Although some people have made them.
It’s a zip: https://opensource.truthsocial.com/mastodon-current.zip
Honestly it is hilarious to me that they rather make a zip file then a repo.
Ah yes, git as cloud storage, or GaCS for the business people.
Actually, there isn't even a repository stored in the zip because ✨ transparency ✨
Backstory that I hadn't known. Doesn't surprise me one bit. Cheers to whoever proved the theft.
AGPL is beautiful https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html#license-text
Lol the posts are called Truths. Someone should start Fake Social where the posts are called Fakes. And you can Refake others Fakes.
They actually tried to hide that fact and even removed references to Mastodon in the UI until SF Conversancy threatened to sue them and permanently cut their license to it.
Yeah, the main reason I remember is they almost got sued over not disclosing it I think
