On: Your Organization should run its own Mastodon server

But things probably will change meaningfully in the near future. You’d have to ignore everything the new CEO is saying, in order to believe otherwise.

People trade futures options all the time.

Thing is, he isn't saying that much. Most of what people are reacting to are people's interpretation of what Musk said, and then further interpretation of those interpretations, etc. That's what strikes me as completely bonkers.

Did you miss the news that he laid off half the company, including the content moderation team? That says plenty.

I did, actually; I caught up already (see another reply in this subthread), but my point still stands: the hysteria has been at current level for at least two weeks now. There's little causal relationship between the firings and all the noise, or sudden interest in Mastodon.
