@[email protected] It seems that @[email protected] blocked me so I’ll repeat it publicly. As I told them privately before, Mastodon is a registered trademark and permission to use it in a domain name is only given to those running Mastodon on the domain. You cannot run Pleroma and call it Mastodon. Trademarks are meant to prevent confusion and this is a clear cut case of infringement.
@Gargron @rysiek @Tech maybe that is a good reminder to put more focus on the "ActivityPub" trademark. Mastodon could celebrate the protocol a bit more prominent on its website and maybe even include it as an emoji (not just XMPP, Matrix, ...)?
