I just don't know where to start with this

  1. it's Ars Techinca - techy clickbait rag to the world

  2. the article dateline; 12/28/2022, 6:11 AM

  3. this is not "Mastodon" -- there is no single monolithic entity like Facebook or Twitter

  4. it's -- as always -- all about @Gargron and @Mastodon

  5. "non-profit" is a reference to German tax code -- it is not the result a balance sheet analysis

Executive summary: it has virtually nothing to do with what you and I use
