I saw a toot about how Mastodon isn’t a suitable network for social movements.. posted on a social network with 8 million accounts that has no adverts, is volunteer run, is open source, has no owner and is end to end free of big technology companies.

@GossiTheDog you are completely wrong. Rochko has literally shut down the ability to create new instances. He’s the owner! https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/23/how-mastodon-is-scaling-amid-the-twitter-exodus/amp/

@organizingpower he doesn't own it - anybody can fork Mastodon (people already have), he doesn't own the instances, and the protocol is an open specification.

@GossiTheDog @Gargron are you or are you not the owner? If not, then why do you have a Patreon? Who’s in charge of those funds? And why are companies trying to give you more funding?
