diorama ١٣١٢ (hänet/demm/ihn)@Gargron do not give permission to mastodon dot uno server for the following reasons: https://qua.name/diorama/software-identity-predatory-strategies-fediverse #brandjacking
@donelias @mb
@donelias @mb
@Gargron that holds for mastodon dot it guide (which is sadly on Italian-speaking wikipedia at the mastodon software page) and their "Mastodon Italia" association
their core marketing strategy is to #astroturf the fediverse: other identities as if they were the Italian "chapter" of a given software, or they were "endorsed" by the main devs
a long tradition, I might say:
digg ita -> Italian digg + SEO translation of Spanish menéame
cinquee -> fiverr
noblogo -> noblogs
and so on
@Gargron the damage they make to the fediverse is that people think they are the Italian Mastodon/other software flagship instance, which is a predatory behaviour against federation
also consider they had welcomed Byoblu (the wannabe Italian Gab) in the fediverse for half a year, silencing @isolategab and @isolatebyoblu , and they adopted a McCarthyism #FUD against the grassroots instances

zero@diorama @Gargron @donelias @mb Also, at some point someone ( @[email protected] ) was telling to donate to Mastodon.uno as if it was the original Mastodon project. The post was edited after pointing out they are not related, but now both post and account are deleted.
