For the record there are no co-founders of Mastodon. Not in a startup way (it's not a startup) nor in a development way (I started the project on my own)
@Gargron thank you ;)
@Gargron you are a GNU-hero of your own
@Gargron - Then who is @gustavoramos
I'm only saying this because I've seen someone claim to be a Mastodon co-founder, not to toot my own horn.
@Gargron :thinking:
@Gargron I saw that too and was like what? Who r u
@Gargron I can't believe I've been here over a week and I haven't told you this yet: You're kinda awesome. :)
@Gargron when you toot here you have more claim to the horn than anyone else
@Gargron Ah... the humans... :rolling_eyes:
@Gargron <sigh/> weird energy to have to deal with
@Gargron *ba-dum-tish*
@gargron That's very rude of them.
@Gargron Why your url on your bio is github/gargron/mastodon and it redirects to github.com/tootsuite/mastodon ?
@blackdev1l That used to be the original URL
@Gargron Gotcha, great work btw!
@Gargron
I'm a tech blogger, will do a write up once I can figure out what the heck I'm doing lol.
@Gargron I see what you did there... Clever
@gargron what a bunch of fuck heads
@Gargron toot toot! Or something...
.@Gargron well, you've built something pretty cool. I think you deserve a little horn-tootin'. :grin:
@Gargron we really appreciate all your work.
@Gargron tooting our own horns is literally why we are here
@Gargron Haha! Welcome! Mastodon Co-Founder here! Hope you're having fun!
@Gargron Haha, the things people will claim :D
I run some national events in my field, and once overheard someone claiming to a friend of mine "Oh yeah, me and David," *crosses fingers* "we're like that". To this day I've still never met them.
@Gargron What the heck is wrong with people? I hope you banned him.
@Gargron lol. Toot
@Gargron Impressive, and worth noting for the record. :)
(And 'impressive' is understating my take on it, TBQH.)
@Gargron well you seem to be tooting quite a bit to be fair
Thank you for your courage @Gargron
@gargron when does the angel round start?
I'm hearing you have nice hockey-stick graphs for user adoption.
@thurloat Q: Do I need to be Canadian to understand what a hockey-stick graph is
@gargron I never considered that might be a Canadian saying!
Here's an example:

@Gargron Noted thanks; who is this guy then..? *screenshot* https://mastodon.cloud/media/6FDWrZrYcaR4EaeXqJA
@Gargron Such a great job already, Eugen ! Imade the promise to mself to give (one shot) someday to your Patreon account.
For now, I'm currently observing with amazement, and trying to help the newcomers. Around 700 more users in the last hour ! Good Man ! A Savior you are ! :)
@Gargron a lot of people want to ride along?
@Gargron @gustavoramos nice one gustavo! co-founder heh? GGWPWND :rofl:
@Gargron but are you a stack of gnomes disguised as one person?
@Gargron I bet you it was Shiva Ayyadurai wasn't it?
@Gargron see I was going to bug you to confirm, but I figured it was so trivially disprovable that I didn't even bother to do so
@Gargron Thanks.
@gustavoramos "Gustavo Ramos" was claiming to be a co-founder. A friend noticed, he's got a good eye for oddness, and my investigations pretty much confirmed.

@dredmorbius @Gargron @gustavoramos thank you guys!!!
@Gargron This is incorrect. I personally invested several sandwiches into Mastodon's development and I expect to be recognized as a (spiritual) co-founder of the Mastodon project. If not you will hear from my lawyer https://mastodon.social/media/bo2Cb3Mj4nHkFmkjm1k
@Gargron thank you
@Gargron When it's a global phenomenon I suspect no-one will believe my "tootsuite" suggestion.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Gargron Or maybe that's what the repo path always was and I am in fact being a deluded fool. :-)
@gargron That reminds me what Linus said about his early years.
