The point about them reporting scrubbing Mastadon from the site as bugs is hilarious -- nm - oblique Oct 22, 10:14 5
- I just don't see why it would be so hard for them to acknowledge it and open source it. There's nothing wrong with them using it. - Beryllium Oct 22, 10:20 4
  - They want to be seen as the ones who created it, I'm sure. -- nm - Qale Oct 22, 10:21 3
    - Yup. It’s all about the brand. -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 10:33
    - Yes, that would explain it. It's stupid, but then, completely on-brand. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 10:23 1

- They’re probably laughing all the way to the bank as it’s currently 10x (Ed: 13x actually) its offering price. -- nm* - znufrii Oct 22, 10:20
Liberal tech elite trying to shut him down! -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 10:10
Over Under 5 hacks in those 30 days? -- nm - Beaker Oct 22, 10:04
