@chucker @dotnet @fediversenews While they said nothing for 5 months? Why all the quiet? As I said, I’m skeptical. Big multinational companies don’t do things without strategy.

@atomicpoet @chucker @dotnet @fediversenews Maybe the person who runs the server created the account as a placeholder for the .NET Foundation community team to use when they wanted it.

@ramsey @chucker @dotnet @fediversenews Maybe. But zero affiliation when the official account lives there?

@atomicpoet @ramsey @dotnet @fediversenews the affiliation probably goes as far as “person who runs the account works at MS and got the approval to use it ‘officially’”

@atomicpoet @chucker @dotnet @fediversenews I think you’re over-sensationalizing something that’s not very sensational.

Maybe I missed this along the way, but do we know for sure that the person who registered the domain is any way affiliated with Microsoft?

Lots of zero-Microsoft-affiliation companies use .NET

Edit: Ah gotcha, the verified account being on that server

@Robworks @atomicpoet @ramsey @chucker @dotnet @fediversenews considering it's now verified to a Microsoft.com page, if it's not Microsoft instance, they're still using it in an official capacity. The domain info is "redacted for privacy" so we don't know who owns the domain, but the account is being used by a Microsoft team.
