@mashiro Though very right-wing, transphobic etc, but you have to admit that gab.com - mastodon fork but no longer in the federation - has done a very good job.
@jsailo well, definitely they are different. but they are disconnected from the fediverse, and they won't need to consider the compatibility to the fediverse and merge upstream code. in my opinion, the page design can be even better, but i didn't do that, because there will be too much work to do to maintain and keep the code updated with the upstream in a long future
@mashiro I agree. I also read somewhere that Truth Social is based on Soapbox + Plemora. But they too disconnected from the fediverse.
