They didn't even bother to change the word "toot" on #TruthSocial in the Dutch language

Yes, he did not "build" TruthSocial but took #Mastodon source code and added anoher front end

The current source code is from 2022 meaning that they don't comply with the Mastodon licence OR they run a old version that has critical security flaws

Talk about a major fail..

@stux What's funny is that Truth Social is just a Mastodon fork with Alex Gleason's SoapBox frontend grafted back on.

SoapBox itself is a fork of Mastodon's own native single-column interface. Apparently, the dev couldn't get them to use anything other than Mastodon, which is pretty funny.
Truth Social Head of Engineering Leaves for Jack-Dorsey-Backed Alternative, Nostr

Alex Gleason (30), founder of Soapbox Technology, announced his resignation on Monday as Head of Engineering at Truth Social, the Twitter-alternative...

@atomicpoet @deadsuperhero Wow.. can't image Nostr would wanna work with such a racist

With Trump he fitted right in though

Is Nostr also some alt right platform?

@stux @deadsuperhero By itself, Nostr is just a simple protocol that works through relays.

In practice, almost all content there is about Bitcoin, various conspiracy theories, and AI spam.

The reason people gravitate towards Nostr is because they’re under the illusion that Nostr can’t be censored. This isn’t the case, however. Relays can be moderated and they are.

@atomicpoet @deadsuperhero Ahhh that's it!  Yup, that's Alex..

He came from Gab I believe before the Fedi thing, also explains a lot

@stux @deadsuperhero What I think is even more interesting is that Jack Dorsey deliberately gave Alex Gleason a grant so he would work on Nostr.

Thus, anyone who says that Jack Dorsey is a better person than Elon Musk is just plain wrong.

@atomicpoet @stux @deadsuperhero

Thank you.

This is a horrifically ignored, but important point.

@atomicpoet @stux @deadsuperhero It may still be reasonable to prefer him as a proprietor of Twitter.
@alanhartley @stux @deadsuperhero For me, Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter has been a net positive for Fediverse development.
@stux @atomicpoet He's been gradually rehabilitating his image in the Nostr community, through his development work there.

A portion of Nostr just straight up doesn't care, possibly because the work is too valuable: cross-network bridges, Bitcoin payments for ActivityPub posts, a platform that does both AP and Nostr. Some parts of the network are also definitely more right-wing, religious, or into crypto.
