    Of course they started with an existing platform to save time and money. When anyone else does it, it’s a smart way to save time and money. When anyone related to captain cheese ball does it, it’s because he’s cheap as shit. I wonder if the devs ever got paid.

      They literally violated the AGPL license of Mastodon and thought they’d get away with it.
      Literally the only reason why we know it’s based on Mastodon is because of some smart redditor forcing a page crash exposing the Mastodon error message warranting further investigation.
      It wasn’t until they got called out and got a formal notification of the breach in terms that it got fixed; because if they didn’t with the 30days allotted time they would’ve been sued.
