Reply to comment by voxpoplar in De-federating P92 by Seirdy

i dont use the federation stuff but i forgot that it was a twitter derivative and not just like, forums or whatever. i hope they continue to use "toot" as the name for their posts and the whole platform fails because of only that

regrettably the person that owns mastodon has changed the name in all application literature and interface to just "post," citing "toot" as being too unprofessional. he's basically gone full techbro. even calls himself "CEO of Mastodon" which while technically true since the software is owned by the non-profit company Mastodon gGmbH... like lmao. additionally, over the years he's gotten real vocal about basically not really caring about users with privacy, security, or accessibility concerns. it's been a real weird heel turn to see
