Oh god the Mashable headline is quite something
I mean this one http://mashable.com/2017/04/06/eugen-rochko-mastodon-interview/?utm_cid=hp-hh-pri#F5tO8r55okqw They took quite the wrong photo too, they asked me if my LinkedIn one was OK, and I said yes, that's not the one
@jk My LinkedIn has only one photo and it is this https://www.linkedin.com/in/Gargron
@katebowles @Gargron making the world just a tiny bit more benign is surely a worthwhile goal
@Gargron Did you contact them about wrong photo?
@gargron you look great don't worry
@Gargron Wow that's intense
@Gargron it's strange the title is changing when I load
@Gargron you look nice in this photo
@Gargron oh wow. of course they completely ignore GNU Social. -_-;
Nice profile, congrats!
@Gargron weird... it showed
> The coder who built Mastodon is 24, fiercely independent, and doesn’t care about money
for a second then switched to
> How crowdfunding helped a German college grad create a social network to take on Twitter
@Gargron ur a "disrupter" now ;)
@Gargron Are they A/B testing headlines now? https://mastodon.cloud/media/3NqkhbpW59g_5oTMLbk
@Gargron how it feels like to be famous?
@Gargron HELLBENT ON DISRUPTING
@Gargron The headline reads like it used to in the tab before changing to the current headline (“Meet the 24-year-old behind the toot-filled social platform Mastodon”). Methinks someone realised how dumb the original headline was.
@Stephen_Stone @ww @Gargron This isn't just an A/B test. We're on at least the fourth heading now. I'm seeing "Mastodon's founder wants his social network to replace Twitter in the 'mainstream consciousness'". I'm also seeing the post-load flicker and change to a different title, but not the pair Wojtek posted!
@alerque @ww @Stephen_Stone Schrödinger's headline
@Gargron it is cool, ppl will remember your work & your words long after they have forgotten all images of you. 🙏
@Gargron Why you picked this name "mastodon"?
@Gargron it looks kinda okay besides that you aren't smiling at all. like the worst college admissions site photo.
@Gargron wait did they just change the headline?!
@Damage yes they did.
@Gargron I did politics once. I learned not to ever google myself for my sanity.
@Gargron you should have said 'no'
