So was their intent that identity validation would mirror email in such that instead of disconnected instances you would have company/organization - oblique Nov 9, 13:31 1
- I wouldn't say that was the intent (because I don't know). It's a convenient use case of the way it has been designed. -- nm* - Beryllium Nov 9, 14:54
still could have duplicate name on other servers [email protected] -- nm - budice Nov 9, 13:23
Now we're trying to figure out - is Truth Social just a Mastodon instance? -- nm - Max Nov 9, 13:23 6
- Yes, but blacklisted from the Federation for violating the Khitomer Accords -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 14:52
- They use the software (open source) but are not in the fediverse that we usually mean with the word Madtodon. Same with CounterSocial. -- nm - Mara Nov 9, 13:46
- Yes but they also violated the Mastadon license -- (link) - oblique Nov 9, 13:28 2
  - At the same time, they're not technically an instance as they're not part of the federation of instances? -- nm - JD Nov 9, 13:43 1
    - It's the software, but not the interconnection. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 14:53
- That's what I've heard. -- nm - psilotum Nov 9, 13:27
