Mastodon CEO Eugen Rochko has spoken out about the significant moderation changes announced by Meta on Tuesday, which will see the social networking giant
Because there’s a company that makes the software used to run a Mastodon instance. Same way Mozilla has a CEO even though they’re not in charge of the internet.
the longest street name in Germany is “Bischöflich-Geistlicher-Rat-Josef-Zinnbauer-Straße”, which I don’t think is that different from something like “St Martin-in-the-Fields Church Path” in the UK.
(I’m purposefully ignoring Wales, because they’re just fucking with us at this point)
The can keep their l’s and y’s, my issue is that I don’t trust their language after their longest town name was arbitrarily made so to reap in unsuspecting tourists
Lmfao, no clue why you’re being downvoted so much. It’s absolutely true that the camel-case here looks like a clusterfuck, even when it’s easily explained.
How can a decentralized platform have a CEO?
Who wants to be CEO of lemmy btw? You’ll have no power over anything, but we can call you that from now on as a joke.

You recognize that Mastodon, the software, is developed by a non-profit called Mastodon gGmbH?
Actually I was not aware of that, thank you for telling me.
Mastodon gHmbH? What happened there? Was he naming the company and somehow fell on the keyboard?
@Lost_My_Mind @TheTechnician27 A gGmbH is roughly comparable to a PBLLC.
gGmbH = gemeinnützige Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung = limited liability company serving the public benefit
Is the first g the “for public benefit” part? Because isn’t GmbH an evil company?
Also, isn’t the norm that if you’re doing good, you don’t name the leader a CEO but a Director or something?
yes, gemeinnützig = serving the public benefit (literally approximately: gemein = common, nützig = useful, i.e. useful to the common good)
GmbH is just the (almost literal) translation of LLC.
When I was a kid I always pictured a goomba when I saw GmbH.
Thats a good association.
And we’re on Lemmy, so any LLC is inherently evil. /s
If your goal is profit, then yes.

God damn the German language sure uses the entire alphabet in every word…How do they fit names onto their street signs???

Do you have a problem with the language that’s half l and y?

Are the Welsh fucking anything other than their flock?
Replace ss with ß.

Close, it’s German. Basically an LLC.

No it’s not. It’s a gGmbH. Notice the leading “g”. It’s a nonprofit company.

Unfortunately there is no English translation of that page on Wikipedia.
Let’s just call it a nonprofit.

His name is John Mastodon.
Nice. I wonder if he also plays drums for Mastodon.
His full name is John Mastodon Pterodactyl Triceratops Sabre-tooh Tiger Tyrannosaurus but he just goes by John Mastodon for short.
