This is beautiful. 😍
If you want to know why Truth Social looks like so much like other Fediverse software, it’s because it runs Mastodon with a Soapbox front-end. In fact, the creator of Soapbox, Alex Gleason, used to serve as Truth Social’s Head of Engineering.
So why did Alex Gleason leave Truth Social? Because Soapbox received a grant from…
drum roll
…former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

Wow, he must have figured out that Truth Social doesn't have a future because he's an insider!
Surely no one else has figured out that that place is a ghost town.
Pardon my sarcasm.
Now why did Alex Gleason receive a grant from Jack Dorsey?
To build the Ditto project for Nostr.
Oh yeah, and who builds the Mostr bridge that connects ActivityPub with Nostr? Alex Gleason.
Now I’ll tell you something funny. When Jack Dorsey was more active on Bluesky, he tried his damnedest to ignore all mentions of Mastodon, the Fediverse, and ActivityPub. Instead, he referred to it all collectively as other protocols and services.
It makes you really wonder about things, right?
