1 year agoMy guess is, that Meta will try to control the public image of the name Mastodon. Yeah the Software itself is OpenSource and protected under AGPL-3, but they still can buy Mastodon GmbH and use that to tie their name to Mastodon for the broad public.
First they would try to block it on the ISP DNS servers. But this is easily circumvented if you know how.
My guess is he is just throwing out stupid ideas without knowing how to get them implemented.
