We all know about how Reddit closed-sourced back in 2017 and will be killing off third-party apps this July, what will Lemmy.ml do to avoid facing the same fate? Reddit started off like this (open, aiming for freedom) and it all went downhill from there.

    Oh my god, WHAT. Truth Social is just a Mastodon instance? It makes sense that his people wouldn’t bother doing any of their own coding, but it’s still kinda wild.

      I mean isnt that kinda the goal of mastodon? Everyone is free to make their own community and everyone else is free to zone them out if they dont like it. If anything I’d say it was a good proof of concept.
