Kommersiella företag i Fediversum

Det finns en mängd programvaror och instanser i Fediversum som görs och drivs av kommersiella företag. Inkomstkällorna är i allmänhet reklam men det är inte alltid som reklamen förekommer i samband med Fediversuminstansen

…Not least of all because the same company that runs the largest Mastodon instance runs more than one instance (why?)

But also the moderation policy that allows for the deletion of people’s posts. (Not even limiting the account or suspending it and asking the person who wrote the post to delete it but moderators outright deleting other people’s posts themselves. That sets a very dangerous precedent.)

So I hasn’t realised that Mastodon GmbH (mastodon.social) also runs mastodon.online.

This is troubling, to say the least.

If there's a single post on the Fediverse that sums up the problem of antisemitism here, it's this one.

The author weighs the murder of Jews in the UK against a war thousands of miles away on another continent and despite his claim of condemnation, it's exactly this type of false equivalency that lead to the murder in the first place.

But more than that, it's Mastodon GmbH. They do nothing until posts like these or from @endantisemitism embarrasses them into action.

“Two Jewish men stabbed in north London as Starmer condemns ‘appalling antisemitic attack’.” Like #Starmer I condemn antisemitism. However unlike Starmer I also condemn the horrific violence being perpetrated by the terrorist state of Israel. #Antisemitism #Israel #Gaza #WestBank #Palestine #Lebanon #Iran #Syria

Was ist eigentlich aus der Aberkennung der #Gemeinnützigkeit bei der #MastodonGmbH geworden?

Gab es da zumindest ein Einspruchsverfahren beim Finanzamt?

Auch schon wieder ein Jahr her...wie die Zeit verfliegt.

Mastodon: Laut Finanzamt nicht mehr gemeinnützig

Die Open-Source-Social-Media-Plattform Mastodon muss in Deutschland jetzt mehr Steuern auf Spenden zahlen. Nun wurde ein US-Non-Profit gegründet.

@zvavybir Your approach & the thought of switching instances somehow remind me of moving from #Whatsapp to #Signal and eventually having to have both 😅
(as the critical mass has not seemed to be reached yet)

#Mastodon currently seems to face a more immediate, more dramatic issue, though.

The active #users & #server count are continuously dropping:

How many users, active users, servers are on Mastodon?

@timnitGebru @CorioPsicologia Is this the same Meta that’s a partner of Social Web Foundation with the good folks at Mastodon GmbH and Pixelfed? Surely not because why would the good folks at Mastodon GmbH and Pixelfed partner with them? I mean, how bad can Meta be if good folks like that are willing to associate with them?

@Ursalzona Thanks! Let's try again: maybe it slipped through or #mastodonGmbh didn't realise until now they need one pt-br option. https://mamot.fr/@nemobis/113055984731529247

@[email protected] Nice, now can we get at least one pt-br instance on joinmastodon.org? ursal.zone is available but has not heard back from you, apparently: https://ursal.zone/@Ursalzona/113055979622428538

It's really grey whether people wanting increased Mastodon search capabilities should place any blame on Mastodon's GmbH. It is apparent, once again, that some users and admins are going to throw a fit about any mention of a server indexing public posts even though all calckey, misskey, akkoma. and friendica servers do it for their search. The only question is did Mastodon GmbH lead people into thinking that public posts distributed through ActivityPub are really more private than they really are.
