@eviltrout@carpdiem.online serious question and nothing against @Gargron@mastodon.social but are we sure that if tomorrow he is going full Elon Musk, Mastodon will still be independent and free?

    @botolo86@mstdn.social @eviltrout@carpdiem.online @Gargron@mastodon.social On that should it happen I'd say he's more likely to go like Jack. Sell it to a twit rather than go off the deep end himself. Though I'd personally be more worried about Automatic making their services federate and then forcing compliance to their standard from everyone else as Tumblr and WordPress have a gajillion users which gives a lot of weight. Overall though, whatever happens it feels like something we'll be able to see further down the line than the great tumblr porn ban or Twitter's sale and make plans accordingly.

    @botolo86@mstdn.social @eviltrout@carpdiem.online @Gargron@mastodon.social In what kind of way would that even be possible since the insides of the platform are fully open source and the nature of the network is federated? Please explain, I really honestly don't know.

    @botolo86@mstdn.social @Gargron@mastodon.social you can’t take back source that’s already been released. We’d fork. It’s been done before in countless pieces of software.
