> They hired a North Macedonian development group

Way to keep jobs in the USA, I guess? But perhaps this was a 4d-chess move to stay outside of the influence of US/western 'big tech' which 'silences' right wing Truth? Who can tell?




More like them only wanting to spend 5 days worth of a single outsourced coder's time. I can't imagine changing some CSS and find/replace "Mastodon" in the source code took much longer than that.

Just look at the "Infrastructure" slide (22) in their deck I posted above. It's like a middle schooler did a book report on web development.


wow yeah that's pretty lame...

slide 27 mentions mastodon as the backend for v1... as if they'll have the ability to just swap in something else later with 10M active users...


They'll just use firestore
