Wasn’t Truth Social just a mastodon instance to begin with?
Apparently the backend still is, just a customised version to exclude poll and post visibility option functionality. I assume there are other changes too, because he and his team swapped the frontend out for their own and made a Web app version. Not much to show for 16 months since launch, really. Embarrassing.

I wouldn’t be shocked if someone told me the front end was stolen, too.
