Background: I've been building a growing commercial social network. There are things about what I want to do that made that the better option for what my target market is.

With that said, I really like what Mastodon has done and as far as federated and open social networks go (ActivityPub!). It's in a class of its own IMO.

Absolutely not. I didn't want to use a comment to talk about our project and hijack the comments section, just to provide where my perspective is coming from and that even with that I like the idea and Mastodon's approach.

To be clear: No, I'm not the one who made Truth, have no part of it, and don't know anyone working on it.

That's just a stolen and license-violating Mastodon, not much building involved

I'm not familiar with Truth Social except for what I've read in the comments here. What makes you say that building this will cost a soul? How does this differ from other social networks? (Or do you believe working on Twitter/FB also cost one one's soul?). What effects do you think the builders would have?

What makes you think he is building Truth?

Either you lack imagination, or you're bad with very large numbers.

Well, Truth isn't so much growing as it's collapsing.

Even if you are unconcerned about your soul, morals, or ethics, tech workers at TMTG are surely ending their careers. Who would employ them after that?
