That's a social media site that Trump claims he's launching next year.

That's the joke.

this press release makes it sound like it’s being entirely funded by others while he takes credit, which would be very on brand for him

"'Truth Social', which will launch officially later in the year, is seemingly using Mastodon's codebase without credit."

Its terms also say that “all source code” of Truth Social is proprietary. That might run afoul of Mastodon’s own license.

“The main thing is that Mastodon is free software, released under the AGPLv3 license, so anyone can use it—provided they comply with the license. The main part of the license is making the source code and any modifications to it available to the public,” Rochko told Motherboard. With Truth Social saying that its code is proprietary “that would be a problem, as that would indicate a license violation,” Rochko added.

Trump Media & Technology Group, the company behind Truth Social, did not respond to a request for comment.

I’m gonna email Truth Social and ask them send the source code and all eventual modifications they have made to me. They have to make it avaiable to the public.

”… Daily Dot reporter Mikael Thalen posting a screenshot of a Truth Social account he managed to register in Donald Trump’s name.”


^ This means that Trump can’t use the name Donald Trump. He would have to use TheRealDonaldTrump or TheRealPotus or something similar.

there's also this article:

"Trump’s new social network could fit an old business model: Lending his name to make low-risk profits"

http://www...c-9241-aad8e48f01ff_story.html

not sure what's in article (don't have subscription) but that's how his Trump Towers work: he sells his name to another company that does all the funding & building of it... he just plasters his photo, quotes, & name all over the brochures to mislead investors

(& in that press release i posted above, it noted some other company's money being used here)

apparently Trump also trademarking the words “truthing”, “post a truth”, “retruth” and “follow the truth”

presumably that's "tweeting", "tweet", "retweet" & "follow"

so moving further into our dystopian world

I'll be surprised if this even gets off the ground. It sounds like just another half assed grift.

he's desperate to get 'likes' & 'retweets' again so i'm sure a legitimate attempt (crowd sizes / ratings / 'likes' are what give his life meaning)

although as he's a fraud moron who's unwilling to spend any of his own money, not surprised they are just going w/ a freeware option
