weird article on the front page of esquire about twitter vs #mastodon that doesn’t understand even the basic premise of the #fediverse and misses out entirely on the nature of why lots of small self hosted nodes are stronger then one centralized capitalist blob but alas you have to start somewhere. I have a feeling we are gonna get another wave soon. also a little shoutout to #diaspora in there.

The CEO of Mastodon Wants to Defeat Twitter - What is Mastodon Social Network

@wakest ok but this is HILARIOUS, check the <title> tag
@darius @wakest Gargamel, CEO of Mastodon, Knight of the Fediverse, Archwizard of ActivityPub.

@darius @wakest on a more serious note, some might see this inability of the mainstream media to understand Fediverse as a problem.

I see it as an opportunity. We can use whatever titles we want to sound "serious" and whatever buzzwords to sound "bleeding-edge" or "innovative".

Sure, Gargamel as a CEO sounds silly. But calling all the admins of the Fediverse "Board Members" would potentially be a useful hack to give them platform in mainstream media.

@rysiek @wakest @darius
stakeholders!
