I was called on my personal phone number this evening by a group of 10 people from the Fediverse threatening to report to Vodafone that we are disobeying their terms of service (side-services of mastodon.de are hosted behind a 1Gbit/s private connection instead of a business contract).

The motivation behind this was simply to annoy me. I know the people, we had a slight disagreement on the Fediverse recently. Regardless, we have planned to move completely to the cloud soon.

Honest to god, mastodon.de is a donation-funded project. Me and a couple of friends do this honorarily and we do our best to be as transparent about our expenditures as possible. I do all the finances, all public texts, all management, calls, etc. I do this next to studying Computer Science in university, next to my honorary political / environmental activist work, next to having friends or sleeping which often comes too short.

I'd love to have the life of people that can take the time out of their day to call someone at 11 pm simply to annoy them due to some internet argument that started and ended over a week ago. Truly, if I'd have that kind of time I'd be happier in life. Annoy billionaires and politicians, but not some guy who has spent all of his time, effort, and money into something that is for the common good.
