@bazkie @Mastodon Every popular open source project has a registered trademark and a policy that goes with it. WordPress, Firefox, BigBlueButton, LibreOffice, Python, Rust, you name it. It has nothing to do with this announcement.

You sound really angry. Using your blocklist is a great idea right now.

It must take a certain dose of self esteem to unpolitely attack a guy and an organisation who wrote the perfectly interchangeable free software your instance is using.

Indeed.
I still remember the Mozilla Firefox vs. Debian Iceweasel case. 🙄
Anyway, this is the Fediverse, and ActivityPub is an open protocol with many different implementations apart from Mastodon.
So, if Mastodon really goes down the drain (which I doubt), there are plenty of other choices.
