Ahhh yes, 300M USD for a company with two employees and without any working product. An investment for the future!

The sad part is that this company will likely make more money than the average saas startup.

Most of them aren’t forking mastodon with a big name as a supporter as its only value.

I noticed the zip file a couple weeks ago (well someone else did and I posted about it to the parlerwatch subreddit):

https://www.reddit.com/r/ParlerWatch/comments/qx0xh1/truth_s...

I would have been happy to have tipped off a reporter at the time, but they don't really seem interested in covering this kind of stuff.

There's a repo with a diff against mainline Masto:

there's more over at /r/Opensource:

Now if this isn't going to be a huge disservice to the cause of Mastodon (which I support, as you might guess).

The news is they’ve admitted it after previously hiding it in violation of Mastodon’s licence while their marketing copy professed to be original.

And they complied? It would be more worse if they didn't comply or respond at all.

What's the issue?

There isn’t an issue and I don’t know why you’re looking for one. This news resolved the issue that existed.
