@atomicpoet Or their marketing department tried to create an instance, saw how difficult it is to run on Windows, gave up, found a community instance already dedicated to their product run by an employee, reached out to him, and he was happy to have them, because of course he was if he was such a big fan that he started an instance dedicated to their product in the first place.

That's not only Occam's Razor here, but it's consistent with the story they've given.

And the unnecessary dig against my server isn't strengthening your argument; to the contrary.

@LouisIngenthron And lawyers were not involved? No higher ups signed off?

Louis Ingenthron replied to Chris

@atomicpoet What do either of those things have to do with your attempt to establish a relationship between the server and the company?

Chris Trottier replied to Louis

@LouisIngenthron That’s my point. A lawyer probably signed off, and someone with authority gave it a stamp of approval.

Louis Ingenthron replied to Chris

@atomicpoet *What* is your point?

Lawyers probably signed off on creating Twitter accounts (because Twitter actually has an EULA, unlike dotnet.social). Does that mean that Microsoft is in cahoots with Twitter too?

Chris Trottier replied to Louis

@LouisIngenthron Does a Microsoft employee own Twitter? Is Twitter a Microsoft product?

Louis Ingenthron replied to Chris

@atomicpoet Which has what exactly to do with lawyers signing off on the account? You're bouncing all over the place here.

Chris Trottier replied to Louis

@LouisIngenthron If you believe a $1T just improvises its social media presence—and doesn’t get a lawyer to sign off on something that establishes ground rules with the host—I don’t know what to tell you.

Louis Ingenthron replied to Chris

@atomicpoet If you want to continue this conversation, try replying to what I actually wrote instead of this nonsense argument you imagined me saying.

Chris Trottier replied to Louis

@LouisIngenthron I don’t think there’s much more to talk about, and this insistence that Microsoft just happened to arrive at dotnet.social is odd.

Have a great night 👋
