Weet iemand waarom sommigen in rep en roer zijn over de toekomst van #mastodon ? #eugen

Is joinmastodon.org just not adding any more instances? I've officially been trying to get a response for 6 months now, and now the Mastodon App is promoting mastodon.social as the "main" instance. I am so confused. My instance could hold plenty more folks that we've got right now, whereas Mastodon.social constantly gives me error codes on federation. It's just frustrating, since it's making it hard for Mastodon to achieve the whole decentralized platform thing.

Can Mastodon seize the moment from Twitter?

Considering the original #ChatGPT "ripped off" your #phonenumber, I fail to see which is worse really.

I still stand by #Eugen on this one:

Me: *moves from Twitter to Mastodon*

Me: It's nice to be on a service that isn't controlled by the whims of one guy with no accountability.

Eugen: "I don't feel as strongly about quote posts as I did", [so they're probably going to happen here]

Me: How disillusioning. ☹

Who else wants support for codeblocks and syntax highlights in mostodon toots?

```julia
print("Julia")
```

```js
console.log("JavaScript")
```

```rb
puts "Ruby"
```

something like this

Is there no standards committee for the Mastodon aspects of ActivityPub?
Wonder if the ActivityPub comittee should take it up or if it's ok to let the Mastodon experiment continue to evolve independentlt under #Eugen. Others can federate with it and experiment with their own subset of #ActivityPub and the #Mastodon #API / #protocol I guess.

@alek thank you for your recent techpolicy.press article explaining the evolution of the #fediverse and #Eugen's role ("person-institution") and the finances of it all. Is there anyone working on the #mechanismdesign of #mastodon and #activitypub ?

As of the moment it appears 111 **known** instances have defederated to some degree from Mastodon.social. Most likely unknown instance count is much higher.

People are claiming this is a result on the article I wrote, which largely cited facts with photo evidence and effectively accused Eugen of caving to a Nazi's agenda.

I do **not** want to see anyone defederating from mastodon.social. However, my article presented the facts, made no suggestion to anyone to defederate. If those those facts cause people to get mad with Eugen and defederate, so be it, thats his fault for not being a better person, for not having a discussion about his decisions. I wont take blame simply for exposing truths, the reprocusions are on him not me.

The irony is what is happening to him is the same thing happening to me as explained in that article. The difference is what is happening to me is largely fueled by lies which Ive disproven. Cant say the same about Eugen

Anyway, I do hope all of you will stop defederating and start talking. I'd much rather see people try to talk to Eugen and tell him why he is wrong and get him to be better than anything else. Perhaps stand up to the misinformation you hear as well and do some fact checking so #QOTO doesnt get wrongly accused of lies while your at it.

Qui est #Eugen #Rochko, le créateur du réseau social #Mastodon ?

L’informaticien allemand de 29 ans a créé, en 2016, le réseau social alternatif et non lucratif Mastodon, dont le nombre d’utilisateurs connaît une folle ascension à la suite du rachat de Twitter par Elon Musk.

My article has been updated to now include a public/official response from Eugen... Surprise surprise, he confirmed the article as true.

I have added an addition section to the end of my article

#Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Found to Support Nazi’s Agenda

It is four points listening the consequences of Eugen's decision.

Here's a half-formed thought. Anarchistic/decentralized structures exist in constant tension with hierarchical structures. And this seems to get at the current situation around #Eugen. He's trying to run two fedi instances as a de facto dictator. Eventually the inherent contradiction will resolve.
