If we could we'd fork @tokodon, call it something else, make it GlutPlug and compatible with both M'don and Epicyon. At the same time we'd adapt both M'don and Epicyon servers to GlutPlug. We'd give back the non-JS interface to M'don, make the 'Live feeds' timeline the default timeline + EDIT make it I2P-federate.
We'd not show Like and Boost counts on posts without a person opening them. And would enforce #AGPLv3Compliance on very questionable actor, #HellaDoge.
Fediverse appears to be replicating the worst elements of #socialMedia now, including enabling and empowering the #botFarms.
It seems to be just replicating the worst elements of the #closedSilo systems, just in a #decentralised way.
We suspect that the way to get to the heart of this issue is to '#followTheMoney'. Where is money pouring into fedi and why? Why has Mastodon not taken long-time software thieves #HellaDoge to task, but jumped on others?
@mjg59 @jenniferplusplus @blogdiva
Do not #Copyleft licences, like #GPLv3, work by ensuring that **any** software that includes the FOSS code be #FOSS also?
What the above describes is #softwareTheft, right?
For example #MastodonDevs by allowing #HellaDoge to not provide source code for years, with a notification of such by us, are allowing software #theft, right?
@hk
May we ask what media/users say this?
Mastodon has very real problems in incentivising botFarms, with the "Explore" Tab, and for manipulating users by showing Like and Boost Counts. Mastodon is not doing enough to stop the corporate reach in our view.
Also it has done nothing over the course of years now to enforce the AGPL licence against apparent software theft by #HellaDoge.com.
Be under no illusions, Mastodon is able to be and is being commodified by likely very bad actors.
His #helladoge dead? or am I just shadow banned...
@no that's the #helladoge philosophy!!!!

Dunno.

Hmm.

If we don't credit the author it's (sort of) #plagerism.
We came from Falsebook and we adjusted quickly to the culture of Fediverse not using #quoteReplies.
We quickly appreciated that although we may've been able to grow on Falsebook from it that it does also breed #oneUpmanship and #toxicity.
We doubt #MastodonDevs care what we say. They are still not enforcing #AGPLv3 against #HellaDoge, despite our calls.

@fsf
The AGPLv3 license is not being enforced to our knowledge.
The #HellaDoge instance has been engaging in software theft fr a dangerously long time. Afawk they are not being taken to task.
We wonder if enforcing the license is something #FSF can do? We would but can are struggling to do a lot of stuff due to various constraints on our end.
In 2023 use the internet to educate yourself, learn skills that make you money,(#hellaDoge )and train your mind to think better.
Each one of you are precious to me! #helladoge I am so blessed to have you in my life and I love each one of you! Wishing you a beautiful Christmas & a Happy New Year in advance
You can be successful in anything you put your focus, time, and energy in... #helladoge #helladoge #helladoge
When will #helladoge have an App for Android phone, it will bring a lot of business to success
The CEO of #helladoge is not having best sleep, but looking out to good ideas to promote the social interactive platform
@mahdoge what’s the timeline before he joins #HellaDoge?
