@eb lmao, you have the unusual distinction of being both the person I would *most* want to look at my code (bet you'd find a lot of interesting bugs π ) and the person I would *least* want to look at my code (maybe I don't wanna know π)

@eb I very much am looking forward to what you and/or others find out about the divergences in the code base...

@vwbusguy trump's developer army is incredibly productive. think about all the value they provide to shareholders

@vwbusguy they use it to make it look like they care about preventing hate speech by making racists put a space somewhere in their n-words. Could be used for a whole host of other things as well, though

@eb I suspect this will turn out to be a much bigger deal than people currently realize, but even if it doesn't I commend you for taking these steps. And you're absolutely right about the power issue - the fact that individuals can force billion (at least on paper π) dollar companies to comply with the terms of open-source licenses is huge.

@eb fantastic phrasing "In these places, their version of the truth can proliferate without the moderation theyβve grown to despise."

@eb if you're interested, here's my report π https://jasminchen.dev/2024/analysing-the-source-code-of-truth-social/

@jasmin excellent, I was hoping somebody would do this! Iβll add a section to my article to link to external analysis as soon as I get back to my computer
