Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I had no idea. https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/29/22752850/mastodon-trump-truth-social-network-open-source-gab-legal-notice https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/29/22752850/mastodon-trump-... Seems like the most censored man in history is about to use some uncensorable software. Mastodon should prepare for a whole world of hurt. There is no greater crime than aiding and abetting a successful conservative in 2021. I hope Trump embraces the spirit of open source, and that Mastodon has a slush fund of money to be used in its upcoming legal battles against progressive activists suing them for allowing harm to come to individuals via the speech propogated through its work.

  There was a link but it mysteriously disappeared, maybe not that mysterious given what happens if Trump gets mentioned.
