Somebody joined #Mastodon and didn't find the experience very pleasing.

That's what the article is about.

As examples of more famous people joining the platform it's mentioning #RealGretaThunberg and #StephenFry. I wasn't aware of Stephen Fry being here and I find that amazing...

I'm gonna look it up as soon as I've read the rest of the article...

...ok there, #Readit! (nope, this is not a #reddit pun or is it? Oh wait, it is!)

Basically they say nothing about #floss. #Mastodon is #Free, #Libre and #OpenSource.

Not all people know this but its true. If you wanted to change Mastodon you now can!

With #Twitter can you do that?

NOPE. The code for Twitter is what some people refer to as #ClosedSource. You as a customer of Twitter get a service but you don't get anything else.

On Mastodon we all collectively have access to the code so if ie. the developer of Mastodon one day just decides to retire we have all the power in the world to change the social platform we are all using to implement new updates with new #functionality!

What a #BraveNewWorld to live in!

@youronlyone help me to understand! As far as I see "write.as" was/is a hosted service with no open source code or commmunity install, then they have released "#writefreely" as the server hostable by anyone, so "writeas" never have been a #communityServer (and there is ony one writeas, the #commercial one; it was/is a closed source company hosted #AP compatible service.)
That is what I have believed.
(Maybe there could be a list of commercial AP compatible #closedSource services...)
