    From the end of the blogpost @ (https://boehs.org/node/truth-social): “Once again, this was absolutely not the outcome I expected. Some people might be disappointed by it. I might be relieved. After I sent that email, I was a little worried about what I was getting myself into. The Truth Social Legal Team. Imagine. But it went my way. The real takeaway is that you do have power. Don’t be scared of the big guys. Speak their language, play on their court. Stand up for what you believe in. You can win. Finally, I want to thank Truth Social for complying appropriately. While we couldn’t be further apart politically, I respect that they followed the law in a timely manner without a fight.”

    the tl;dr is: he asked nicely for the source code and they gave it to him?

    It’s a shame they don’t embrace federation and open source more, the drama it would create would be fun at least.

      nah, there are plenty of truth wannabes (freeze peach bigotry safe havens) that actively federate. just look at literally any competent server’s blocked instances list and you’ll see a few examples. there’s a reason why nobody* runs completely open federation

      *: aside from people who’re friendly with that crowd ofc

      No no, Truth Social doesn’t need to federate. They want it to pushing it’s source code as AGPL legally obligates it to.
