The guy that made Mastodon is
@Gargron and is basically attempting to legally extort the owner of
mastodon.tech into abandoning/transferring his domain because he moved from Mastodon to Pleroma.
Hey mate, maybe don't be a stupid fuckhead. The cost of an attorney would probably be worth the money to buy the domain. Going to trial over a TM/Copyright dispute costs $75,000. Offer $25,000 and agree to a year of redirects so he can transition to a new domain and everyone is happy.
Soyboy devs are the most annoying fucking people. They can't think at all. It's this constant whining and litigious behavior. These people need to be rigorously beaten with sticks for the damage they cause society.
