   The current chaos in WordPress caused by Matt seems like a good time to remind folks that the Mastodon “community” websites and trademarks are 100% owned by one man, despite pleas from current and former project members to make Mastodon a foundation with a board.

     @avdi I think one of the worst things to come out of the Twitter exodus was everyone thinking Mastodon *was* the Fediverse, and big instances are the way to go.

     Still hoping some other #Fediverse platforms emerge that are operationally sane to deploy & maintain.

     @avdi it should have never come to this. Co-mingling a software project with a social network was a mistake. There should have been clear lines.
     
     e.g., nobody demands Postfix make a foundation with a board because its job is to route emails, not foster the Postfix Community.
     
     Mastodon should have just stuck to being an upstanding citizen of the Fediverse instead of pushing its own branding so hard

     @avdi what do you expect from a retard that calls Fediverse/Activity pub "The Mastodon Network"? Lol

     @feld @avdi It's Eugen Rochko. There is one person responsible for this conflation and he did it deliberately, from the beginning for his own benefit. If you talk about the Wordpress debacle, people specifically say the name of who is doing it.
