First off let’s look at the Head of Engineering at Truth Social
Alex Gleason who created Soapbox which is the frontend used by Truth Social on the web and is also a Fediverse developer.
What is Truth Social based on?

Here we can see Truth Social is Open Source software based upon Mastodon.
Mastodon even threatened to sue Trump because he never disclosed this fact when he released Truth Social.

What is Soapbox?
“Soapbox is customizable open-source software that puts the power of social media in the hands of the people.” - from GitLab - https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox
On The Fediverse
You may have heard of Mastodon. Soapbox builds upon what Mastodon made great to make something even better.
You can run Mastodon+Soapbox, Rebased+Soapbox, and more.
Soapbox is the frontend (what users see) while Mastodon is the backend (data, APIs). You can mix-and-match in the Fediverse ecosystem.
Introducing Mostr: a Fediverse Nostr bridge

Alex’s posted for the first time on NOSTR yesterday… See screenshots below
This is an interesting response from Alex saying NOSTR the dream for Mastodon is being realized with NOSTR and that it’s more viable because it’s easier!
So what does this all mean GMONEY?
Well if Truth Social is really just Mastodon and Alex built a bridge to onboard Mastodon to nostr then adding a relay for Truth Social will eventually happen! This will revolutionize all of Social Media as Elon and Twitter will eventually have to follow suit. Oh and btw did I mention Bitcoin Lightning is already integrated into nostr?
