the AI bros are OUTRAGED and wish to speak to the MANAGER

[waitworry@sakurajima.moe]

@davidgerard his correct title is "king of fediverse"

[korrok@neopaquita.es]

@davidgerard Everyone knows that the head of Mastodon is John Mastodon

[schrotthaufen@mastodon.social]

@davidgerard He doesn’t seem to know the core audience of mastodon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[cameopilot@toot.community]

@davidgerard
That was a no-win post for Eugen. I'm sure the puppy-killers are just as incensed at being compared to ai-bros...

@waitworry Website Boy (Respectful)

@davidgerard hide your puppies

@davidgerard That thread has done WONDERS for my blocklist.

[drsbaitso@infosec.exchange]

@davidgerard I feel like folks who are functionally illiterate (that is, unable to interpret text-based communications, even through an accessibility tool like a screen reader) are going to have a bad time on a primarily-text-based social networking site.

[imrehg@fosstodon.org]

@davidgerard also, reading through that thread, someone seems to be projecting

Eugen Rochko (@Gargron@mastodon.social)

@bogosian@infosec.exchange @scottjenson@social.coop I’m not head of Mastodon! Have a good day.

Mastodon (mastodon.social)

[mzdravkov@mastodon.green]

@waitworry @davidgerard the admin of each instance is its king. Hence, Eugen is the king of kings.

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@schrotthaufen @davidgerard the fuck?

can you just @ some famous Mastodon guy and then declare yourself "Product Strategy Advisor to Mastodon Core team"?

Like, yeah, I guess he did advise

[steff@soc.femme.cat]

@davidgerard@circumstances.run Is John Mastodon back posting again?

[delawen@floss.social]

@davidgerard Interestingly, he automatically assumed that "loving puppies" means "hating AI" and "loving AI" means "hating puppies".

If he really thought AI was as cute and good as puppies, his thoughts should have led him the other way around...

[johnefrancis@cosocial.ca]

@steff @davidgerard John Mastodon is a distributed being with a shard of consciousness within each regular Mastodon user.

So yes.

[jadedtwin@corteximplant.com]

@davidgerard "fedi is an echo chamber!"

Uh.....do you know what an echo chamber is? When everyone hates slop generators almost universally.....sigh....I can't explain things to a rock.....

[drevangowan@fediscience.org]

@davidgerard What is hilarious about this is that AI bros could easily start their own pro-AI Mastodon server, but that would require doing some actual work.

[jennyfluff@chitter.xyz]

@davidgerard everybody knows you need to talk to John Mastodon

[gonzalo@neopaquita.es]

@schrotthaufen @davidgerard he is not a good fit for this position, in case this truly exits.

[steff@soc.femme.cat]

@johnefrancis@cosocial.ca @davidgerard@circumstances.run like the spirit of Christmas?

It was my recollection, that John Mastodon was the all-powerful CEO of Mastodon, Inc. who decided to turn himself into an AI agent, and was immediately defederated. SO say, you can still catch glimpses of his lonely isolated toot in the public times...

[beckermatic@pleroma.arielbecker.com]

@davidgerard Is John Mastodon available?
