The people in charge don't know how to hire the right people to manage the project. So the incompetent managers don't know how to hire capable technical people (and there is a shortage of good technical workers right now). The incompetent technical people don't know how to solve the technical issues. They probably rely on some sort of cronyism to hand out jobs. I mean the CEO is Devin Nunes. What the hell does he know about how to run a high-tech startup? Nothing!
I don't think we need to look any deeper than that.
If they were wise they would hire the developers of Mastodon and turn them loose on Truth. But they're dopes. And so they do dopey things, like try to not even acknowledge they forked a well known open source project until they are forced to.
