I think it is still very funny that tech publications still think of Mastodon as a competitor to Threads or Twitter, as if they're not completely different paradigms altogether, but also that they still can't stop conflating Mastodon (the organisation)...

Like if the first two stopped existing, Mastodon software would still keep going?? Mastodon isn’t competing with the corporations, like, there is no reason to be in competition because Mastodon doesn’t sell adverts or siphon off your user data to monetise you
(ofc, other Fediverse software exists, but ya know, nobody at TechCrunch or The Verge is gonna write about Akkoma)

@yassie_j@labyrinth.zone The way journalists cover mastodon and the fediverse as a whole is a reminder to me that they're probably covering everything else just as badly, I just have less contextual knowledge.
