If we could we'd fork @tokodon, call it something else, make it GlutPlug and compatible with both M'don and Epicyon. At the same time we'd adapt both M'don and Epicyon servers to GlutPlug. We'd give back the non-JS interface to M'don, make the 'Live feeds' timeline the default timeline + EDIT make it I2P-federate.

We'd not show Like and Boost counts on posts without a person opening them. And would enforce #AGPLv3Compliance on very questionable actor, #HellaDoge.

Fediverse appears to be replicating the worst elements of #socialMedia now, including enabling and empowering the #botFarms.

It seems to be just replicating the worst elements of the #closedSilo systems, just in a #decentralised way.

We suspect that the way to get to the heart of this issue is to '#followTheMoney'. Where is money pouring into fedi and why? Why has Mastodon not taken long-time software thieves #HellaDoge to task, but jumped on others?

Do not #Copyleft licences, like #GPLv3, work by ensuring that **any** software that includes the FOSS code be #FOSS also?

What the above describes is #softwareTheft, right?

For example #MastodonDevs by allowing #HellaDoge to not provide source code for years, with a notification of such by us, are allowing software #theft, right?

#AGPLv3Compliance

@hk
May we ask what media/users say this?

Mastodon has very real problems in incentivising botFarms, with the "Explore" Tab, and for manipulating users by showing Like and Boost Counts. Mastodon is not doing enough to stop the corporate reach in our view.

Also it has done nothing over the course of years now to enforce the AGPL licence against apparent software theft by #HellaDoge.com.

Be under no illusions, Mastodon is able to be and is being commodified by likely very bad actors.
