Jonny (good kind) is the new #JohnMastodon!

Since @jonny 's thread on Claude code made the rounds, it leaked out of the Fediverse via different sources (Reddit, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Twitter) and our server is getting a surge of joining requests from people who do not have any idea how Mastodon / Fedi works (they think our server is Mastodon) and whose sole purpose is to follow Jonny, who has basically become the embodiment of #Mastodon outside of Mastodon 😂

It's great to see how many "outsiders" are interested in our alternative way of doing social media... but it also means that we should do much better in advertising the #Fediverse out there: most people have no idea it exists! and once they realise there is an alternative to the for-profit socials, some of them at least are interested in joining!

- Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile - people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend - now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???

@elduvelle @jonny Do we need some sort of temporary landing page that suggests other instances of a similar size & great moderation capability to spread the load around?
@SRLevine @jonny yes - Jonny has already updated our account request message with that info and they will update our landing page next :)
@elduvelle @jonny You all are the best 
@SRLevine @jonny thanks! are we're glad to have you around!
