@realcaseyrollins@Lainyboy nah, they just wanted to use the sweet not banned existing Mastodon apps to get a multitude of working not banned apps for free lol

They were trying to leech users. That's the end of it. They didn't understand fedi, they didn't know how monetization-resistant we are, they thought "bigger instance is better", plus their platform was aging and having Masto as an upstream gave them a new platform for free.
@realcaseyrollins @Lainyboy gab just wanted buzzwords to throw at investors
