anyways sorry to report that, and I am sure you are all just Shocked about that, gab has just announced that they would like you to give them money for... running a server with slightly modified Mastodon

No, really. The people who got 1 million USD to make a decentralized social network, couldn‘t and then instead took code written by lefties and furries, search-replaced Mastodon to Gab and are now like „yeah actually our EXODUS PROTOCOL is now live!!!“ (it‘s activitypub)

And now, of course, for part two of the hustle, they want more money, and no doubt they‘ll find suckers they‘ll get it from

(P.S.: they blocked me on bird website a few days ago for telling people that this was coming. Hit a bit too close to home there 😅)
