Remember this ancient SN article from Oct 26:
Trump Given 30 Days for Social Media Site to Comply with Open Source License

In it, we learn't:
Trump Given 30 Days for Social Media Site to Comply with Open Source License

In a nutshell, the open source Mastodon project gave Trump 30 days to comply with open source license.

Mastodon issues 30-day ultimatum to Trump’s social network over misuse of its code

"In a post to the Mastodon blog, founder and CEO Eugen Rochko explained that the problem is not simply that Truth Social uses Mastodon, but that it does so while claiming ownership over the site’s code"

I think the next step would be for Mastodon to give Trump another 30 days, order them to comply, and add the words: "or else!". Surely Trump would then comply with the open source license.

    Nothing Donald can do will convince conservatives that he is a terrible human being. Blatant criminality? Pfft. Ridiculously close relationship with known pdeo sex traffickers? Whatevs! Paying to sleep with a porn star? Family calues warblgarbl! Attemoted coup? Anteefa fake nooooose! No not our noose for Pence, dat was joke brahnrade!

    There is no point arguing anymore. Those still denying the insurrection are members of the New Nazi Party that the GOP has become. That is not hyperbole and personally I am shocked conservatives have let themselves be led so far astray. Now for a flood of excuses why their fear is legitimate and requires some lite fascism.
