Mastodon Clone by Red Planet Labs

Summary:

Rebuilt the Mastodon backend from scratch and made it able to handle Twitter-scale (500M users, 20M writes/second, unbalanced social graph, etc.). Thus implementation is only 10k lines of code and is also significantly simpler than the existing Mastodon implementation. This clone is running at mastodon.redplanetlabs.com.

I really hope they also license the code under the AGPL, otherwise the product would not be as good as mastodon in my opinion. See https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

Looking at their Github, I mostly see Apache 2.0, which is a bad sign. But this whole thing seems like an advert for their product anyway, so it's likely a nothingburger and won't make a dent in the current Mastodon software's dominance.
