I mean this one http://mashable.com/2017/04/06/eugen-rochko-mastodon-interview/?utm_cid=hp-hh-pri#F5tO8r55okqw They took quite the wrong photo too, they asked me if my LinkedIn one was OK, and I said yes, that's not the one

@Gargron you should have said 'no'

@jk My LinkedIn has only one photo and it is this https://www.linkedin.com/in/Gargron
Show threadjosefApr 7, 2017
@Gargron i mean thats definitely a better photo. maybe they were just trying to pick the one where you looked the most "fiercely independent"
Show threadKateApr 7, 2017
@jk @Gargron I'm not sure you look fierce enough. More "benignly independent".
Show threadjosefApr 7, 2017
@katebowles @Gargron making the world just a tiny bit more benign is surely a worthwhile goal

@Gargron The headline reads like it used to in the tab before changing to the current headline (“Meet the 24-year-old behind the toot-filled social platform Mastodon”). Methinks someone realised how dumb the original headline was.
Show threadCaleb MaclennanApr 7, 2017
@Stephen_Stone @ww @Gargron This isn't just an A/B test. We're on at least the fourth heading now. I'm seeing "Mastodon's founder wants his social network to replace Twitter in the 'mainstream consciousness'". I'm also seeing the post-load flicker and change to a different title, but not the pair Wojtek posted!
