I don’t think that’s how the license works. You’re thinking of the general GNU licenses, not the Affero one which Mastodon uses.
To quote the license (from Mastodon’s repo):
The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its source code to the public.
The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to provide the source code of the modified version running there to the users of that server.
That sounds to me like at least Truthsocial users need to be able to access its source code.
Also, from the actual terms:
- Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License


So I tried looking through jmail for “kotick”, “call of duty”, and “microtransaction” and couldn’t find it. Neither in the official library (haven’t checked call of duty there though, too many results). Do we know that this is actually real? Maybe the articles got removed because it turned out to be fake?
Well, the quote I replied to said they don’t seem to keep the releases up to date. Which means there are changes to the site not reflected in the released code. At least that’s how I interpret that, because how else would it be “not up to date”?
