   We have the unlucky bonus of being "mastodon.radio" since 2018 and in the past it's been made to clear to other instances that they have to run mastodon to use the name in your domain or the trademark holders will request (legally) that you stop.

   If I don't like something with mastodon what can I do?

   How far can we stray from "pure" mastodon?
   A fork without features we don't like?
   A variant that is based on mastodon?
   Complete rebrand, new domain, and different software?

     Can't help feeling uneasy about the new mastodon nonprofit and its board. Posts like this by Eugen don't help that.

     Yes, open source developers should be paid properly.
     Yes, €60k probably isn't enough for the level of responsibility he has.

     Equally, step into the fediverse you've helped create and you'll find many admins/mods paid nothing to admin/mod and many more people asking for relative pennies to survive.

     My day job pays less and I feed 5 + 1 cat 🤷
