Sp I wrote a pretty lengthy blog post entitled:

# Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Found to Support Nazi's Agenda

Sadly I wish it was clickbait.

You can all read it here:

It is the pinnacle of the recent drama. I will also be sharing it on twitter, linking the joinmastodon account there. I tried to include most of the evidence in the article. Hopefully this will have some positive result

@Gargron @trinsec @khird

@freemo @Gargron @trinsec @khird Seems like a reasonable point of concern. Sweep bad behavior under the rug rather than publicly point it out and invite a community response?

@rbe_expert @freemo @Gargron @trinsec @khird very reasonable and we'll backed up article.

I still very much dislike the title, though. It makes it look personal to you (whereas the article explains very well that it has nothing to do with your personal opinions). As if you have a score to settle, a grudge held.

@berkes

There is a bit of a score to settle I suppose... He knew about the misinformation campaign and capitulated to it out of popularity rather than doing what is right. In the process hurting the reputation and standing of the serrver.

Putt's Law of Insubordination applies here:
Rejection of management objectives is undesirable when you are wrong,
and unforgivable when you are right.

Gagron will double down on his mistaken decision precisely BECAUSE you PROVE him wrong, and you justifiedly put him on the spot for his wrong decision.

In addition, social media excommunication is based on the principle that any attempt at defending yourself is seen as admission of guilt.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, but here we go again.

I wish I could say Eugen was better than that... his recent actions suggest he isnt :(

@freemo @berkes @rbe_expert @Gargron @trinsec @khird

Eugen Rochko is CEO of Mastodon.
He explicitly writes that
“I will take a listing down if it risks endangering the reputation of Mastodon”
A lot of the problems in our world is attributable to the typical CEO attitude.
In the case of mastodon, Eugen Rochko's attitude is:
"Mastodon, c'est moi."

So by PROVING him wrong with IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE,
you destroy Eugen Rochko's reputation, and because in his mind, he IS mastodon, you endanger not only his reputation, but the reputation of mastodon, and you and your instance MUST be delisted.

@tatzelbrumm @freemo @berkes @Gargron @trinsec @khird Well, it's a good thing it's decentralized. :-) Time to put that design principle to the test, methinks

@freemo @berkes @rbe_expert @Gargron @trinsec @khird
Ironically, this is all brewing up because of the CEO behavior of one of the two apex predators of USAmerican CEOs, Elon Musk:
"Twitter, c'est moi."
The other apex predator CEO is Donald "You're fired!" Trump.

@tatzelbrumm @freemo @berkes @rbe_expert @Gargron @trinsec @khird

there should be Fediverse listings instead of Mastodon listings
Mastodon ≠ Fediverse
let people choose for themselves

@otso @berkes @Gargron @freemo @khird @tatzelbrumm @trinsec Not only that, but also since Mastodon / ActivityPub / etc is open-source and built on open standards, we are not beholden to a single centralized development team.
