I wonder if the companies that forked mastodon (like truth social) will bother to update. I can see someone posting stuff as a former president with this flaw.

Eh, stuff like truth social doesn't federate with anything anyway, so unfortunately this isn't a vulnerability for them.

Has it been confirmed this is a federation bug?
