They JUST found it between the couch cushions.
This is an absurd and transparent lie, that reflects very badly on Mike Masnick.
We are talking about a $100M investment, and he is asking people to believe they were just "too busy." Hogwash.

And you know who can never be used to make that money back?
US!
We're FREE.
Folks like BSKY, idk why. But they'll either stay or they'll leave. If they leave, they're not going back to Twitter. If they stay, maybe they don't know or maybe they don't know how good we are. Or maybe they have something we need.
How can we turn this into a strength to HELP people move over?
Bonfire is AMAZING imo. It's not Mastodon. We have so many options, we just need to convince folks that this way is better and we can suit them however they need.
@_elena Masnick has certainly revealed a previously hidden side of himself in all the BS BS ...
@colo_lee@mstdn.social @_elena@mastodon.social
I was at Red Hat when they were sold to IBM.
The CEO, Jim Whitehurst, that for some reason people saw as a god and didn't understand he didn't INVENT Linux or anything, was standing up there selling us the idea of the sale to IBM.
CEO's are only there to keep the business running. They're not there for the people, they're not there for the customers, they're there to make sure it just keeps humming along.
Even if they disagreed, they're not going to say it publicly. You know how much money that CEO job is making them? Say whatever, world be damned.
THIS is why they can't have this power.
They will ALWAYS convince themselves and anyone they can that this is BEST FOR ALL.
@_elena The whole 'gosh golly' thing ...
@geonz@mathstodon.xyz @_elena@mastodon.social those silly businesses would forget about the law if they weren't reminded! It happens to us ALL!
@benjamimsilva@social.vivaldi.net @_elena@mastodon.social He's foolish, he's not THAT foolish. He'd pay no more than $40 billion this time.
@Pouakai@mastodon.social @_elena@mastodon.social if they ever do we still have the rest of the Fediverse.
I'm on my own private #Bonfire for my business and I LOVE IT.

ALL HAIL The First of HIS name, Founder of the TOOT TOOT, Creator of the meme of the elephant wetting itself that we all find hillarious, the greatest person to ever live, for realsies, JOHN MASTODON!
@_elena@mastodon.social I mean, I won't use BSKY EVER. I'm happy it exists for those that choose to. But we're going to keep seeing this over and over and over again. But I'm also happy because more folks that choose to use other platforms takes power away from Big Tech.
I think things like this show folks that BSKY is NOT the same as Mastodon or the fediverse in general. But I think most won't care and for those that DO care, do they care enough to move AGAIN?
And if they do, we know they won't be going to Twitter. Maybe a few will run their own whatever in the Fediverse or some will be empowered to build something themselves and make it better and AP is the only way to go really imo.
No matter what, thank you ALL for joining us on the #Fediverse because the ABOVE is the ONLY alternative that Capitalism sees and I'm happy to have REAL choice.

Watching the "Liability or Deniability" hearing on Section 230.
Ms. Farid Johnson keeps discussing how they shouldn't scrap 230, but amend it with user security and interoperability.
I'm enjoying this just watching that idea get public.
I enjoy finding random stuff on #Peertube . There's so much interesting stuff if you're willing to do a bit of searching. 😊

RE: https://btfree.social/pub/objects/01KKYPGMVPARYXNKPYBD9YVKE7
I'm really looking forward to this, it's such a great idea! Expect chaos, and me headdesking repeatedly when I realise what obvious things I left out of the instructions. Which is of course the whole point 😁
@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk I'm also SUPER excited to try this out. 😁
I did 1 episode with @logan@social.logal.dev , but he was here with me.
So I can't wait to see how this goes and excited to talk with you again sir!

Life pro tip: monitor your infrastructure. Screwing around with Grafana is already paying off, I might have identified my first failing SFP+ fiber module. It's still working... but 9mA to transmit -14 dBm over a short fiber run does not match at all with any other modules I have in production and seems very wrong. I'll make sure I have a spare on hand.
Thankfully this is not a mission critical line (no Owncast instances, just a Wi-Fi AP) but nonetheless, I'm already glad I took on this project.
@logan@social.logal.dev this is amazing. I don't know what this means AT ALL. But it sounds awesome and for someone hosting Owncast streams for fun shows an incredible passion we have on the Fediverse. Keep up the amazing work and thank you Sir

Did you know your average household throws away 1 forkin the garbage per week? That's why you end up needing to buy fresh cuttlery every few weeks. Interestingly, statistics show this doesn't apply to spoons or knives.
@logan@social.logal.dev I don't throw it away! The damn sock goblin has teamed up with a cutlery troll.
@ozoned Last year, @galvagna.com tried to collect data like this, and didn't find much. My own back-of-the-envelope calculation is here: https://dazzlelabs.net/blog/funding-the-open-social-web-fediforum-20250605/index.html#0
@j12t@j12t.social I wonder how we could get folks involved. We'd need it occasionally updated as well. A network wide survey.
