Apparently Truth Social is having some legal issues regarding violating the AGPL. This isn't super surprising considering they seem to have lifted the #Mastodon source code wholesale and given no attribution.

#Facebook plans to change its name as part of company rebrand – report

Dear #Fediverse, this is the opportunity we get once in a lifetime -- we can suggest a new name for Facebook!
Quick first ideas:
- Failbook
- The Antisocial Network
- Zuckity
- Tire-All Corporation
- Aperture Data Science

Automated systems are hurting the US labour market for instance by automatically rejecting everyone with a gap in their employment history, whatever the cause (a pregnancy, caring for an ill family member, etc.).

If you're fairly comfortable with doing technical stuff on your own server, and you want to set up your own Fediverse instances, try taking a look at @yunohost which can be downloaded from:
YunoHost is a special version of Linux which makes installation of server apps and server administration much easier.
YunoHost currently includes support for installing these Fediverse platforms:
Friendica
Glitch-Soc
Mobilizon
PeerTube
PixelFed
WordPress
WriteFreely
There are also lots of non-Fediverse apps available, see https://yunohost.org/en/apps for a complete list.
