Well my tweet calling out joinmastodon is at 122 retoots... I wonder at what point will be enough for them to care....
@Gargron I think I might do a write up explaining the abuse from jonmastodon, something hard hitting, attach it to a similar tweet, then dump $10K into it and let it explode at this point.
It makes no sense to run your own Mastodon because of all the freedoms and control it provides and then allow yourself to be dependent on some website controlled by someone else.
This mistake won’t be their last. If you have 10K to spend, spend it on an alternative to joinmastodon.
@niels I have enough money for both. Problem is there already are alternatives, but the "main" one will always be the official one
@freemo @niels Who cares about "official", when there's a *better* one? Should include instances backed by other software anyway. More like jointhefediverse.
We were never listed on the official one, and my account has been blocked on mastodon.social for years now, with them refusing to tell me why ever since (or even reply to any of my or other people's requests about it). It's normal behavior from them.
It isnt about indefinate or fast growth.. Its more about moderate growth that offsets user decay. They pulled this before when we were new and the server dwindled to a halt after some time. Being on the directory only gets us enough users to grow moderately and offset user decay, it doesnt provide a huge influx.
