Ah, so I made two mistakes that I guess ended up being right.
Pleroma is a fork of Mastodon, it's not the site I was thinking of though. I was thinking of Parler, which has nothing to do with Mastodon.
Truth Social, on the other hand, definitely tried to use Mastodon code. It was pretty funny drama when they had to release some of their code under the GPL.

- commoner 3y agoI'm not sure how Pleroma (written in Elixir) could be a fork of Mastodon (written in Ruby). Both Pleroma and Mastodon implement ActivityPub, but that alone doesn't make either one a fork. Truth Social does use Mastodon's code with the federation features stripped out like Gab, but what I meant was that I couldn't find any reports of Truth Social claiming to have evidence of hard-coded political censorship in Mastodon (other than the generic blocking features found in most social networks).
