@rysiek It seems that @Tech blocked me so I’ll repeat it publicly. As I told them privately before, Mastodon is a registered trademark and permission to use it in a domain name is only given to those running Mastodon on the domain. You cannot run Pleroma and call it Mastodon. Trademarks are meant to prevent confusion and this is a clear cut case of infringement.

@Gargron @rysiek Does that also apply to forks of Mastodon, e.g. glitch-soc?

@Gargron sorry but that is NOT how trademarks work buddy

making a new fedi software and calling it Mastodon would infringe on your trademark, sure, but including "mastodon" in your domain name wouldn't.

are you planning to sue Mastodon (the metal band)?

@Gargron @rysiek @Tech the timeline where someone tries to dictate what software you can use on your server and your domain.

@gargron @rysiek @Tech maybe that is a good reminder to put more focus on the "ActivityPub" trademark. Mastodon could celebrate the protocol a bit more prominent on its website and maybe even include it as an emoji (not just XMPP, Matrix, ...)?
