Why is Meta being sued by Twitter for imitating its functionality but Mastodon isn't? Are open source developers more allowed to infringe on Twitter's "trade secrets" than proprietary devs?

No one is infringing any trade secrets meta Twitter or Mastodon.

Elon is posturing.

Oh certainly not, he's going to scream whale moon and grown all the way down.

The thing is his clientele is not going anywhere. No one wants to allow the piss and vitriol over there into any one of their networks. The last of the influencers that are sitting over there are the ones that simply don't want to try to rebuild their brand when they move away.
