Mastodon issues 30-day ultimatum to Trump's social network over use of its code
- type0 5y agoWould be better if it linked to the Mastodon statement itself https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2021/10/trumps-new-social-media-platform-found-using-mastodon-code/ https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2021/10/trumps-new-social-medi...

- pipeline_peak 5y agoI have a sliiiight suspicion Mastodon would turn their cheek if it was a democratic politician.

- Proven 5y agoMisleading leftist junk... The jokers at Techchrunch may one day notice that there's NOTHING Mastodon can do about "the use of its code." Mastodon issued a 30d ultimatum about license notice and source code mods, both of which can be addressed with one commit consisting of a set of URLs linking to Mastodon license and the platform's (related) source code mods. (Let this be a warning to other users of collectivist OSS - don't use non-permissive OSS and you won't burden yourself with unnecessary obligations.)
