Mastodon doesn't have any ad code and will never have ad or 3rd party tracking code in the source code.

Also, some website pretending to be a "mastodon ad network" is an excellent example for why the silly ™ mark after the Mastodon name is not such a silly thing

@Balor @Gargron Actually, he's kind of obliged to. Defence of marks, dilution.

@Gargron @dredmorbius that what I was thinking.

And also if it starts so early already, it's not a good sign for the future 🔮

@Gargron A-holes trying to exploit mastodon. You must be doing something right!

@Gargron Many open-source projects have registered a trademark on their names to protect them, and have a web page about the use of the trademark.
Debian for example: debian.org/trademark

@Gargron trademarking isn't silly i'm just saying it's a valid trademark without making the tm so prominent

@gargron you don't actually need the TM to make it a trademark tho, is the point.
