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.

Yes their wild hypocrisy is something else. Brainwashing, truly did not think it could be so effective on such a large scale, especually when fact checking is relatively easy and now able to be done from the convenience of a pocket!

The DNC has always been conservative, now they are the only conservatives while the GOP is busy planning their fascist takeover.
Such scary demographic changes, darker skin tones oh my!!/s
Democrats are hardly opposition though, they want to give Republicans ALL the chances to not try another coup. . .

One would think that brazenly violating open source licenses might get some traction on a site like this.
Trump Worshipers will obey and believe anything their God Emperor King and Savior Trump tells them.
Speaking of TRUTH Social, you know it won't have any censorship because it will only have the TRUTH by not allowing any facts or reality on the site.
Just like how TRUTH Social owns all of the Mastodon code. On a site like SN, the previous sentence won't phase Trump True Believerstm one bit. Not even one tenth of a cycle out of phase.

Yes. It is quite well known Republicans do not care about the middle class nor their struggles.

I've asked if Trump is the owner of the site in question. Whether he owns it or not, we can all be certain that he doesn't make any decisions regarding administration of the site. Unless you're suddenly asserting that Trump is smart enough to be a sysadmin? That would be weird!

Why is the site referred to as "Trump's social media site TRUTH Social" ?
Let's ask Mr. Owl. [wikipedia.org] He knows everything!
Following the link to Trump Media & Technology Group... [wikipedia.org]
There is more in both articles. There was that really so hard?
Whether he makes any/many decisions is irrelevant. He has PUT HIS OWN NAME on it. That means including him in the blame for horrible decisions is entirely fair and in bounds. Just like when he gets credit for anything related to it.
