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) with Mastodon (the instance) and Mastodon (the software). 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)

luna aria ielenia kimapr Princess Serena Star ✨ a brief look at Wikipedia suggests that both city and state were renamed after the Duke of York at about the same time

And the City was the capital of the Province until the birth of the United States of America, when it changed to Albany

kimapr Princess Serena Star ✨ right??? You understand. You would think that the settlement that shares the name with the jurisdiction is the capital. Otherwise why would they share the same name???

@Starcross
>shares the same name as the state
>largest city
>not the capital

The USA is the land of bait and switches
