@edyoung @medium @dotnet @fediversenews But don’t you see? That is your plan: “to encourage people to run their workloads there”.

I’m not saying there is a conspiracy. I’m saying you folks are really good at marketing.

I highly suggest reading the entirety of this thread.

@atomicpoet @medium @dotnet @fediversenews I read it. I just think Microsoft is interested in exactly the same kind of way as Hetzner or Digital Ocean is interested: you want to do computation and store data? Use our cloud!

But all the stuff about Microsoft "acting super casual" and beancounters and saving the Fediverse from Big Tech is, IMHO, handwaving disconnected from the facts.

@edyoung Sure, you want people to use Azure.

But would you be especially sad if 95% of the Fediverse was running in Azure?

I’m not saying that’s your goal. But I don’t think you’d be turning away business either.
