They literally violated the AGPL license of
Mastodon and thought they’d get away with it.
Literally the only reason why we know it’s based on Mastodon is because of some smart redditor forcing a page crash exposing the Mastodon error message warranting further investigation.
It wasn’t until they got called out and got a formal notification of the breach in terms that it got fixed; because if they didn’t with the 30days allotted time they would’ve been sued.

So they have a public repository now? I’d like to see that
Repo, no. Although some people have made them.
It’s a zip: https://opensource.truthsocial.com/mastodon-current.zip
Honestly it is hilarious to me that they rather make a zip file then a repo.
Ah yes, git as cloud storage, or GaCS for the business people.
Actually, there isn’t even a repository stored in the zip because ✨ transparency ✨
Backstory that I hadn’t known. Doesn’t surprise me one bit. Cheers to whoever proved the theft.
