I will get a great amount of pleasure if I see the mastodon project sue trump, make a bunch of money, get him to shut down his server, and then use that money to improve the network/project.
@freemo That's incredibly disappointing. There wasn't any reason for them to do that.
This could have brought mastodon into the mainstream and instead FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW they screw it up for no reason.
@swiley I'm not sure if trump was honest about mastodon it would have "brought it to the mainstream". It may have even been a mastodon killer as the world boycotts it or something.
Hard to say though, sometimes bad publicity can be good publicity I guess.
Yea I made that comment. Sorta. Its up but logins arent open yet (they were but only accidentally). So there is no content, no accounts, and nothing to follow. But the server is live and you can browse to it (even though you cant get past the front page).
So strictly since its live at all it is already in violation.
Agreed and in response to blocking it I made the same assertion. Its a demo site, its too early to rally the team to ban something that may not even be an issue.
That doesnt change the fact that I hope they actually do go full ahead with this as is and violate the AGPL and get their ass handed to them. so I entirely support them moving forward.
