Mastodon's Founder Says Trump's New Social Network Is Just Mastodon'Truth Social', which will launch officially later in the year, is seemingly using Mastodon's codebase without credit.Former President Donald Trump’s new social network ’Truth Social’ is seemingly a thinly disguised fork of popular social network codebase Mastodon.Its terms also say that “all source code” of Truth Social is proprietary. That might run afoul of Mastodon’s own license.“The main thing is that Mastodon is free software, released under the AGPLv3 license, so anyone can use it—provided they comply with the license. The main part of the license is making the source code and any modifications to it available to the public,” Rochko told Motherboard. With Truth Social saying that its code is proprietary “that would be a problem, as that would indicate a license violation,” Rochko added.#Mastodon #TruthSocial #Trump #thief https://www.vice.com/en/article/5dgm5k/truth-social-is-mastodon-trump

@stux We need a good response to anyone who makes some claim that Trump invented his own Social network, something that is courteous, but robust enough to put them in their place.

@neko @stux This is fine for those of us here who understand that. The issue will be the masses who don't and will form their own ideas etc.I would suspect you are right otherwise Trumps new pet project would not last very long on here with everyone blocking him. Like with my comment about Trump inventing this, we need to ensure we have a robust, consistent response to statements to the contrary of what the 'actual' situation is. Will be fun, but like most people here we probably have better things. May be a good idea to put a statement out (once we know the situation ) so that we can refer people to it, but that can also be found with a simple ddg search, that way we can also say we don't have time to argue with people too bone idle ( or dumb) to research this.

@stux at the same time, when asking lawyers, if the proprietary code holder rewrites the AGPL3 code all by themselves, without extracting the original code, it becomes legally theirs.

@ringo @wattdefalk @stux It would be interesting to see if any schools block this. I tried to contact South West Grid for Learning, who issue internet safety advice, but I want to invite them here to fedi (so far ignred) it would be helpful if they blocked trumps new instance ASAP esp if people can sign up, as I got one impressiion it was invite onlyI wonder if someone either trump or someone in his team has failed to understand how the instance software works.

@ringo @wattdefalk @stux Another reason to engage properly with south west grid for learning is to ensure they understand how the fedi works and that not all instances should be blocked. Given the interest in trump generally, media hype perhaps it would be wise for them to block it or at least be aware they should. Last thing any of us want is for them to spread mis information and put all of mastodon in the same basket of "bad sites'; as trumps new site. I at least assume that is the case for most of us.

@ringo @wattdefalk @stux Secondary schools employ IT tech staff, primary schools may employ one as part of an academy network (group of schools) but i was under the impression some of that is more phone tech support and click buttons.Problem is explaining fedi to them they need to understand and care enough to explain properly to others.We could end up with the whole of Mastodon tarred with a 'danger' tag and along with that those who use it.Something none of us want, ironically they are happy to use facebook despite the reports of kids being untapped wealth in their view.

@stux, last month I looked deeply at the source code, comparing it with Mastodon, and Truth had very minor changes, mostly inconsequential text changes (such as "Toot" to "Truth").They did add a small amount of extra weekly activity reporting for admins.They also added the ability to "unverify" an account (I think that was the term).Finally, the published Truth source code was a version behind Mastodon, so various fixes and a few security issues had not been applied. Look for yourself. Truth was version 3.4.1, so the "Fix user notes not having a length limit" wasn't in Truth code base.https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/CHANGELOG.mdI completely agree with Mastodon's founder after proving out that the changes aren't enough to consider it something new. Truth Social "is just Mastodon".
