@Rairii i’d revert it but it is still funny and also I’m not a cop

@halcy @Rairii looks like a cop not only reverted it but protected the page for "meme vandalism" :meowPensive:

@enron @halcy now I have the Shia lebeuf song in my head... again. Time to go watch the video.

Luna :circleA:

@halcy Aw they locked the WP article, the vandals should've added the Mediaite article as a source

Brian Hawthorne

@halcy @zak It should be Joan! John always tried to steal her fame.

Papa

@halcy @bhawthorne @zak Pssst! John is Joan Mastodon. And everything is exactly right with that.

@Erin @bhawthorne @halcy @zak Mastodon (she/he/they/them/A+/O-/∞) is the Schrodinger's Cat of gender identification.

Cryptobros are hodling because of a typo, I can't see any problem with John Mastodon...

@halcy

OMFG

When shit finally goes viral here ... boy, does it ever go viral.

Ehren Battermann

@halcy They're still trying to verify which Earth John's from, unlike Timothy Halloran, for example

Mastodon - Timothy Halloran
Kat Marchán 🐈

@halcy @BlackAzizAnansi surprised they didn’t include [2] since there’s an actual media source for it. I’m disappointed

Krazy Thee Alaskan

@halcy @Cpgerman have you been keeping up with this one? Seems like something @RayStraighter would do with the High Pterodactyl 😂😅🤣

zosthanes.

@halcy shouldn't it be the other way around? 🤔

@halcy will always be my favourite form of joke lmao

Cat Operated :astro:

@halcy disappointed it doesn’t say Eugen “website boy” Rochko

DELETED

@halcy Looks like the Wikipedia page was locked over this.

@halcy okay, the meme is literally going places... It's the gift that keeps on giving.

@halcy
Someone should add an entry to the Mastodon wiki page about the origin of #JohnMastodon

david :unverified: :vbus:

@halcy why does website boy have his own wikipedia page

halcy​:icosahedron:

@david he's notable enough, though maybe not outside the context of masto, I guess? I don't pretend to understand wikipedia

@halcy @david And so it came to pass.
"On December 15th, ... On the following day, Twitter began to flag all Mastodon links as malware, preventing Twitter users from sharing them. Media coverage of the bannings included an erroneous report of an account for "John Mastodon" (a misspelling of @joinmastodon) being banned, described as "founder of a competing social media company named after himself". Mastodon users wrote fictional backstories & memes about "John Mastodon".

@halcy if you look here, you might be able to find out. I think, but I’m not sure that it also shows the name of who made an edit.

Camiel Hirschberg

@halcy everytime i read that name i think of a trump speech alla tim apple "some very fine people actually, let me tell you folks, my good friend john mastodon, let me tell you this guy knows how to run a platform"

Toasterson

@halcy Shouldn't that be the founder position?

tolortslubor

@halcy Mediaite as “reliable source”. Snort.

guenther

@halcy vandalizing wikipedia is a pretty shitty pasttime and should not be glorified

Daniel Fisher

@halcy Must be real, if he's now referenced on Wikipedia!
