The decentralized social media instance noagendasocial.com is being shut down due to persistent blocking by other Fediverse servers and negative associations with the domain name. Administrator Matt Hamilton is launching a new server, noauthority.social, to allow users to migrate their accounts while maintaining followers. The discussion covers the technical nature of ActivityPub and the challenges of maintaining a free-speech zone in a federated environment.

Former President Donald Trump announced the launch of Truth Social, a new social media platform intended to rival Big Tech companies. The platform faced immediate scrutiny for using Mastodon's open-source code while initially claiming the software was proprietary, leading to threats of legal action over license violations. The project is reportedly funded by a SPAC valued at approximately $850 million, though skeptics question the team's technical ability to scale the network.
