I've been able to get my hands on the #TruthSocial source code (they do have a link to it on their website, although their website is not accessible to me).

They have disabled federation features. I absolutely expected that, just confirming it for others. It is just another walled garden.

@Gargron It is Masto backend?

FE seems like soapbox to me! I also saw a link to soapbox in a blink when i could access it for a min

@Gargron i think they should release the source code unless they want the site to die!

@Gargron I'd like to thank all the deities for making this possible

@Gargron That's the ethics problem I have with developing for social media sadly or how my work could be used and even sued for reasons out of my control. At least it is limited to the US, another problem. I respect the 1st amendment and freedom of expression of US citizens, but as European, I don't really understand. Lot of the content stemming from it is clashing with my cultural values ( dignity for everyone ).

@Gargron Check for a link in the help screen. I see a 49mb download under open source.

@Gargron That's because "truth" requires absolute control of information. You can't have absolute control with federation.

@Gargron Copy that. Good news. We will be standing by if that changes….

In this case, I'm actually pretty OK with that.

@Gargron Looked at some of the help stuff which you can see when using a US VPN-Server.

They renamed Toots to "Truths". So everytime they post somethings, they by definition "post a truth". This is beyond comical!

@Gargron surprise, surprise... But thanks for letting us know

@Gargron
truthsocial.com/open-source/ is now returning error 404, and there is no link to "open source" on their "legal docs" page.

@preflex They changed where the link is. @nightpool was able to find it.

@Gargron
Ahh, it's at help.truthsocial.com/open-sour now.

They didn't even bother to update SECURITY.md . It still instructs people to report vulns to hello@joinmastodon.org.

Good for you, but bad for them. lol.

@Gargron: What are they offering? Other than a "MAGA" theme?
