Looks like Mastodon gGmbH’s latest moves are adored by folks who work at surveillance capitalists like Medium and Google.

Good job, Mastodon gGmbH… you’re doing amazing, sweetie!

I think this is a good thing. Either they are a non-profit in Germany or in the U.S., but their mission stays the same.

People like to make a big fucking deal out of nothing. The new board of directors includes Biz Stone, of Twitter-fame. Just because he’s on the board doesn’t mean that the open source, FEDERATED, project is going to got to shit.

I think people just like to complain. The good thing about the Fediverse is exactly that… federation. You’re NOT stuck on one instance or even one flavor of service to stay in touch with people.

If Mastodon does go to shit, guess what? Check out the other Fediverse projects. Hell, start a WordPress blog and connect it to the fediverse.

I get why people are nervous, but is it necessary? Maybe? I don’t see it though.

Thoughts are welcome!

Ich bin mir sicher, nicht jeder kann etwas mit dem Namen #Biz Stone anfangen. Ich auch nicht. Eine Recherche kann sich aber lohnen. Immerhin sitzt diese Person im Vorstand von #Mastodon und hat intensiv mit #Jack Dorsey zusammen gearbeitet.

Darüber hinaus frage ich mich nach den rechtlichen Konsequenzen, jetzt, nach dem Mastodon eine U.S. non-profit Organisation ist.

"Dem neuen Vorstand gehört neben #Mastodon CFO Felix Hlatsky auch #Twitter-Mitbegründer #BizStone an." [https://winfuture.de/news,142515.html] 😬

"From 2003 to 2005, Stone held a senior leadership role at Google. 😬 In May 2017, Stone announced his intention to return to Twitter." 😬

"[Stone backed] an investment in #Nifty’s, an non-fungible token [#NFT] marketplace, in March 2021." [https://archive.is/MMATW] 😬

Interesting.

Co-founder of Twitter joins new Mastodon board of directors. Right, so federating with Threads wasn’t a mistake. This is just the direction Mastodon is going. Oh, well. Another Mozilla emerges.
