His grand vision remains to leave Mastodon users in control of the social network, making their own decisions about what content is allowed or what appears in their timelines.

I don't use Mastadon cause I don't care for micro-blogging, but nevertheless, I like this.

While this is a good move, I don't think John Mastodon was making anywhere near the kind of money to turn into the next Musk or Zuck to begin with.

Not now, but in the future that was a possibility.

I mean in the future it's a possibility I'll be fucking Zendaya but that doesn't mean it's reality now does it?

Are you in a space/career where you could conceivably interact with Zendaya?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I don't get it. Mastodon is already huge with millions of users and hundreds of instances. Rochko is already on speaking terms with Zendaya, if you will.
