I’m listening to @Gargron@mastodon.social’s interview on #Decoder rn, it is quite good. Although I’m surprised he didn’t mention #Hometown or #GlitchSoc when asked about #Mastodon forks.

@freemo A bit. They’re not the same as #Pleroma or #Soapbox, which ofc you’ll shun if you’re a Good Person™. These forks are run by generally innocuous folks and power innocuous instances if I’m not mistaken.

@freemo Honestly, IDK. I’ve never judged the guy’s motives, except in his initial decision to not integrate quote posting

@freemo @realcaseyrollins I don't think he's malicious but just an asshole for various reasons like his recent popularity.

Depends how you define malicious i guess. Im sure he thinks he is doing the right thing, and im sure he conviently ignores the factthati his mind the right thing is always synonymous witb his self interests

@freemo @realcaseyrollins If he was malicious he would break federation quite a while ago, like other similar to him have done (cohost).

He comes off as snotty brat in a position of great influence rather than someone actively trying to make other's lives worse.

@colinsmatt11

Aside from the fact that he cant break federation as he doesnt control it... its not i his self interest to do that so why woukd he?

@realcaseyrollins

@freemo @realcaseyrollins Well I other than growing mastodon I don't know much about his self interest.
Previously made statements by me are just guessed based on my personal experience with both assholes and malicious actors.

I think I do require more information about him to have a proper conclusion, but maybe he's both.

@colinsmatt11 @realcaseyrollins

Destabalizing the fediverse clearly works against hisninterests and there is no reason for him to break federation. In fact he alsready breaks federation with groups he doesnt like on his personal servers (not saying he is wrong for this)
