Authors

Gab Social is available on our self-hosted GitLab. And, that's where we have to stop.

Gab does not publicly disclose the members of our team or their contributions to this software. All Gab contributions should be regarded as anonymous.

The list of contributors from the Mastadon project has been removed from the Gab Social fork of Mastodon to entirely prevent any misinterpretation of our fork.

General statements

The Gab Social fork is not endorsed by the Mastadon team. Gab is not receiving support from the Mastodon team and did not request it.

There has been no communication between the Mastadon and Gab teams regarding the Gab Social fork.

Acknowledgement of accomplishments

Gab is grateful for the work performed by the Mastodon team. Their accomplishments have inspired Gab to completely open the platform, federate the social network, and take other steps forward in terms of user privacy, user data control, and trust.

Our hope is that some day circumstances will allow a comprehensive list of contributors to be displayed for this project because a lot of work went into this system and it was done by a large number of people who deserve credit for their accomplishments.
