  • .world is *a* firefish instance. not the main firefish instance (which is .social).

    so when I said, “it’s not the same person running it” - the flagship instance, if you will, is .social. many of the main people coding it are on .social (afaik). .world is just another instance.

    that was i meant, if i need to clarify : the main main people coding-wise are not the same. the flagship instance (which is not .world) is not run by the same people as the mastodon flagship instance.

    “the flagship instance” (if you will) of Mastodon is mastodon.social. not run by the same people who run firefish.social. they are not the same thing, run by the same people.

    that’s what I was getting at. i guess I only make sense to myself.
















  • Lol. “I have no interest in your response, I will not be responding” is like shoving your fingers in your ears and yelling “La la la, I can’t hear you”.

    So mature. Do you do this with everyone you disagree with or am I special?

    Btw none of this “evidence” is evidence of anything (I already confirmed there was a meeting with an NDA, thanks for the evidence that supports what I just said!). The Medium link is an opinion and what’s the cartoon supposed to be evidence of? Someone with an opinion who knows how to draw? How is a cartoon evidence of anything?

    So again, you’re believing rumour and gossip. You linked to blogs and opinions and call them sources. I linked to actual news articles (for the most part - you know, actual news reporting and actual quotes from sources) and then you got upset because I corrected you with actual facts of what is happening (not what someone thinks happened). You can provide all the links you want to every editorial/opinion you like but that is not proof. That is proof someone has an opinion. Opinions aren’t backed up by anything, therefore they are not “proof”. Anyone can scream “oh noes, the sky is falling” - that does not prove the sky is falling. I’m talking about facts.

    You’ve been able to prove one thing, though - you’ll believe anything as long as it’s written and you can’t ever be wrong. Gotcha.

    I think we’re done here. Have yourself a lovely day.


  • This is all ridiculous semantic arguments. Yes, you did say there was a deal. Now you’re trying to walk it back.

    The general consensus is that this was going to be a monetary offer to allow Instagram to further colonize the Fediverse by purchasing one of the larger servers.

    Firstly, the last time I checked, “a monetary offer” is what person might otherwise call a deal. If you propose to give me money for something, that is a deal. And as I stated multiple times with proof, no such deal was made. You really don’t like being wrong, do you?

    Instagram and Facebook are owned by Meta. Meta is the controlling entity (Meta owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, among other things). Whatever you choose to call it, Instagram or Meta, it is the same company. Potato, po-tah-to. They are in essence the same thing. But let’s be factual: It was Meta, not Instagram who approached those admins and again your information is wrong. this article specifically says Meta, so this does this, and this, and this too

    What you “heard” was rumours and fear-mongering. You have not offered one single solitary shred of proof. I have offered several to the contrary.
