Awesome. They can stay busy fighting each other while we happily go on without them over here on the fediverse.
I'm just worried this could result in a ruling that will fuck up the fediverse somehow.
Eh, I don't think any one company can own the concept of microblogging. If Twitter and Tumblr both existed for a long time and there were no lawsuits then this is just a nothing burger, no?
In any sane world, yeah almost definitely.
Never discount the possibility of American courts deciding something which is horribly damaging for the world of technology.
yeah, this feels like a walking advertisement for the fediverse.
