So their iOS app is also copy and pasted project then? Another asset that didn't stop them from launching, did it?

On top of that, so basing on 'free and open source software' and even giving attribution now means 'you haven't built anything novel or interesting'. Oh dear.

> the just copy/pasted another project and expect people to take them seriously as a major social network.

Yeah, surely Mastodon by itself has hundreds of millions of users worldwide since launch day right? /s

I never knew that a controlled launch, only in the US with a waitlist already means 'it is over' or 'it is failing' /s I guess it depends on the 'sources' one reads.

It's bizarre and hilarious to me how much you're defending a company that has raised $1 billion dollars promising to create one of the greatest social networks on earth - yet the core of their product is a re-skinned open source project (that originally violated the license) and their execution has been incredibly sloppy (wait lists that people have been on for months, 404 error pages when people link publicly to their profiles).

If this company did not have their current political affiliations, I seriously doubt you'd be defending them for a second. Because all the evidence of how well they are performing points to them being laughably inept.

I don't actually care about them. I'm just asking basic questions to you which it seems that you are still struggling to answer them. You also seem to be unable to ignore them and have a strange obsession following them for some reason because it's the Orange Man again isn't it?

Mastodon, despite being an 'alternative' hardly anyone cared about it.

Not even the general public cared either for 6 years until Team Orange came along and used it. They'll probably surpass the amount of users on Mastodon regardless away.

So now you are a fortune teller and somehow 'launch day disasters' are indicative of future performance isn't it?

Your use of "orange" is a clear sign that you're extremely biased and it's worthless to continue this back and forth.

Why does that even annoy you? Perhaps, former and twice impeached orange man 'Donald J. Trump'? is less triggering to you and makes you feel better about yourself?

Who cares?

You haven't answered any of my questions have you? Only still obsessed around the orange man.

Get outside should talk to some people in the real world.
