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.
@kamenrunner@freeradical.zone
@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.
@freemo
You could argue intent matters a lot here. They didn't intend to share it so they're not violating the license yet.

>mastodon code is currently live and used to host the main page
Oof, I didn't realize they were doing that. I assumed it was just static html. :(

@swiley
It is a violation of the license whether they shared it or not. The fact that the mastodon code is currently live and used to host the main page, even with logins turned off, is already a violation in its own right. The fact that logins werent really turned off by hidden behind an unpublished link really isnt not a required part of the equation needed to be in violation.
