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.

It’s very chaotic. Loads around 20 new posts per second.

Who can follow this?

I really hope they also license the code under the AGPL, otherwise it is a worse product than mastodon in my opinion

  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.
