Hey @Gargron quick question, why is Biz Stone on the US non-profit board for Mastodon? He’s clearly still invested in Twitter and Instagram as platforms, posting at both places but only uses Mastodon to syndicate his Medium posts. I’m not seeing any action to indicate any passion or interest in the fediverse whatsoever.
It’s curious, is all.
@samf The board was chosen based on shared values and useful experience, not on how much they post on social media. Biz wants Mastodon to succeed.
@Gargron I suppose I’ll have to take your word for it!
I started using Twitter in ‘07, was a believer in the product. I had so much conviction, I bought $TWTR stock at $17.
Then, after checking whether the TWTR board of directors was using their own product and had as much belief as me, few had accounts, and those that did, rarely tweeted.
So, then I sold the stock at $34. I used Twitter and doubled my money.
The board’s lack of understanding led to mismanagement, they were the only “winners” of Elon’s takeover.
