@ErikUden are mastodon logos free to use?
And, would it break some license to actually sell mastodon merch?

@stefanie uhm... not sure! mstdn.ca sells Mastodon Merch using a variation of the logo! I think the logo is trademarked, not CC0 or CC-BY-SA or something!

According to the Mastodon gGmbH you'd need to make a request here: joinmastodon.org/trademark in order to "use the logo not specified by trademark policies" which includes merchandise. I believe mstdn.ca was able to do this mainly because their logo looks entirely different to Mastodon's (red color, different letters/font, etc.)

So: No, they are not free to use. The shirt I am wearing is official Mastodon merch!

@ErikUden cool, I'd have low latency with your server if I joined (living in Germany the last few years) but opted to use my one mini instance :sloth_gts:

@ErikUden

Your server rack can use some more chaos, here's some inspiration from an undisclosed location (I would have to kill you).

@ErikUden I really like that basement look and the children skids in the top left corner :D

@stfn it's really funny how unprofessional we are. I hope we'll look back at this some day and call it β€œthe good old days”
