And I'm saying you're better off without. That sentence is ridiculous enough already, it doesn't need the source to make it worse. But good on you for worrying about credit, do as you will.

I don't know who this person is, but adding "Hacker News" doesn't give their words more credibility. It gives them less, if anything.
Imagine I quoted someone and, underneath it, added:
— PM_ME_UR_FEET, Reddit
Both of these enjoy the same level of base, intrinsic trust to me: none.
Just for the record, I know little about gotosocial, but I've looked into Misskey a fair bit and I think it's irrelevant here.
FediDB data on active users seems off (a low ~12k MAU), but even if the real number is much greater, most are on the flagship instance (misskey.io) which has multiple CSAM censures on fediseer.
Put another way, it's almost counterproductive to include Misskey in these topics because simply federating with its biggest instance could be a liability for most 1st world western instances.
I doubt the Swiss government would get much out of Misskey.
I looked around, but was unable to find more about this. Until something new comes up, I'm assuming it's just a rumor.
Are you talking about Dorsey? Because if so, he left Bluesky as he didn't like their focus on moderation.
Not that it matters much, I sincerely doubt most users look up such details before joining anything. It's all about the experience.
I'm sorry, banana, that was sarcasm. I saw nothing I'd call a quality.
No, thanks for suggesting. I saw a thread by other curious users and checked fediseer. Might be an admin issue, but I didn't see clear evidence.
Don't think it was spam as, unless I'm misunderstanding, that seems unlikely from fosstodon.
Wait, when have I ever denied any genocide?
I'm sorry, that's hilarious. It's so odd, so absurd I can't help but laugh.
I've disagreements of my own, but all I want is to put them aside for a bit because this sentence deserves appreciation.
Fair point, thanks for sharing. Does that mean you consider fine the use of Zulip by open source development teams? Seeing as their main objective is providing organized chat between core contributors (with some level of outsider participation), that is, generally focused on facilitating the work of the project instead of building a community.
If you're willing, I'd appreciate more information on this claim:
Don’t waste your time with Zulip, it is just another corporate messenger.
I tried looking it up myself, but I didn't see anything that bad. Open source, self-hostable, Apache 2 licensed, didn't see any CLA. About the Element thing, that sounds a bit far-fetched, but I'll refrain from saying anything else since I haven't had time to look into it. The Freenode story sounds interesting though, I'll try looking it up later.
For what it's worth, the rest of the report is mostly fine, and I'm inclined to believe I learned something about Drew. But I also felt that was not honest, and question if it had to be included at all. Looking around, it seems the author likes Stallman, and regardless of how they felt before, they probably disliked Drew when they found he was connected to the Stallman report.
So thanks for mentioning that weird vibe. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who paused at that section.
