Gab was Mastodon backend with a Soapbox frontend - Truth Social is the same, by the way. But in both cases, Mastodon was just used because it was the most mature software, not because of its federation capabilities or even the user base culture. Gab barely was part of federation. At first, they were blocked. After, they got out by themselves. Truth Social is not even available outside of the US, much less federating with anything else.
