Truth Social is valued at USD billions. Truth Social is made using Mastodon technology, but it is not federated. Last time I checked Mastodon had more users than Truth Social.

@jon ,

Fortunately, we don't value Fediverse technologies the same way, in most cases, masto being the exception to that with the corporate headquarters having amassed 1,763,788 user accounts.

In the , we almost universally refer to that as a deprecated, monolithic silo, and make no mistake, Eugen is making big bank on two of his , and is antithetical to that, especially with respect to "smolweb" initiatives.

Further, if you visit Truth Social, what you actually see IS NOT masto technology - it's technology - masto powers the backend because it's actually designed to be a deprecated monolithic silo installation, coming into it's own at around 20,000 plus active user accounts.

We don't need more , monolithic in the Fediverse - we need more examples of what comprises the lion's share of the Fediverse, which is smallish instances that are easily managed and self-hosted - especially those instances with one, twenty, and fifty users, that actually operate on shoestring budgets or on an in people's homes.

masto isn't the Fediverse, it isn't even any longer the flagship of the Fediverse, merely a part of the sum of it all, ...but designed to be a huge monolithic deployment for big money players like the one cited above.

I'mma follow you over at so I can boost dinner if your stuff. We're all interested over there with retro and historic computing , being perhaps the oldest, extant, public access system -

Thank you for caring enough to publicly archive these treasures!
