 @atomicpoet @dotnet @fediversenews So, Chris, did I get this right, the account is an official MSFT account, but the server says " .NET Community on Mastodon; not affiliated with Microsoft." Is that changing and it's becoming officially a Microsft owned server? 5 comments
@atomicpoet @tchambers @dotnet @fediversenews I don't know. I think this is a clever play for them. A way to say "we want to be a part of this community too" rather than "we want to own this community and you can't be a part of it without our permission.  @tchambers @atomicpoet @dotnet @fediversenews I guess you’d have to ask @styx31, who runs the instance and does not appear to be personally affiliated with Microsoft. @tchambers @atomicpoet @dotnet @fediversenews @styx31 .NET is an open source project, so someone unaffiliated with MSFT and running dotnet.social is similar to me running phpc.social or someone running ruby.social. (Though, arguably I guess I’m affiliated with PHP in an official capacity.) @ramsey @tchambers @atomicpoet @dotnet @fediversenews Yes, it's a personal initiative. I am a developer (user) of .NET, using it as my day-to-day language in my company. |

@tchambers @dotnet @fediversenews From a pure intellectual property perspective, how do you not claim ownership of that brand?
