@lea@puppygirlhornypost lol I assumed the site was some small non-profit operation. If they're running ads and can't handle this level of traffic that's truly pathetic.
I don't actually care much what Eugen does with Mastodon, or about whether Facebook joins the Fediverse, or anything else like that. There's enough room for us all here. I just wish the smaller communities would also get more consideration in the media, but honestly, maybe it's for the better that we don't.
@Jain Sure but we don't have to do what Eugen says. If he wants to sell out to VC, there will be other forks of Mastodon developed, and obviously Pleroma, Misskey, etc won't go along with it at all. He's not that important.
@Jain I could see mastosoc splitting from the rest of the network if they decide to go in a totally different direction, but I do not see that as an existential threat either.
