> Also interesting - it's being touted as proprietary code, but View Source (which as we all know is a clever hacker tool only) revealed that it's a fork/instance of Mastodon. Complete with not changing the error page's sad cartoon. The theme was slightly different, and the "toot" button has been renamed to "truth"... This is probably a violation of Masto's license, to not say you're using it.
Mastodon is AGPL. If they really did just rip it off, at a bare minimum they have to provide the source upon request. From the AGPL:
It has one added requirement: if you run a modified program on a server and let other users communicate with it there, your server must also allow them to download the source code corresponding to the modified version running there.
