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.
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.
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.

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?

Mastodon gHmbH? What happened there? Was he naming the company and somehow fell on the keyboard?

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.
And we’re on Lemmy, so any LLC is inherently evil. /s
When I was a kid I always pictured a goomba when I saw GmbH.
Thats a good association.
God damn the German language sure uses the entire alphabet in every word…How do they fit names onto their street signs???
Replace ss with ß.

Do you have a problem with the language that’s half l and y?
Are the Welsh fucking anything other than their flock?
Well thank goodness they have that ß character to help keep their street names so efficient.

Cat on the keyboard. Been there…
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.
His full name is John Mastodon Pterodactyl Triceratops Sabre-tooh Tiger Tyrannosaurus but he just goes by John Mastodon for short.
Thank goodness Boint Boint is here to explain.
Nice. I wonder if he also plays drums for Mastodon.
you joke but, a little-known fact is that gargron named the mastodon software after that band as it is his favorite
