    Yes, truth social is completely impossible without trump. Nobody could possibly spin up a mastodon instance without a former president backing you. Just absolutely unheard of.

      I mean the fact that they managed to run it in a way that was illegal was pretty uniquely impressive.

            Idk violating gpl isn’t hard you just have to think of it as some hippy bullshit without teeth instead of what it actually is: a pretty radical legal framework for intellectual property to be distributed freely that has plenty of teeth and a strong precedent

              I like GPL, but I thought it was basically just a contract.

              who pays for the lawyers? Unless you have more money than your opponent nothing has much teeth in the US.
