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.
It's very chaotic. Loads around 20 new posts per second.
Who can follow this?
The instance has 100M bots posting 3,500 times per second at 403 average fanout to demonstrate its scale.

impressive.
Impressive but I hope if an instance ever got to 500M users we would block it. That's ultimately a terrible thing for fedi
Huge questions posed by this development about what the fediverse wants to be and what it can be.
For instance, I've seen some chatter on mastodon about it that are pretty negative, largely because they see the fediverse as a necessarily small place. A counter is that FOSS/non-profit/community run big-tent social media places are actually good and should be taken out of engagement farming big-corps.
