Now, if you are like me, you hear the words “open source” and “decentralized” and then the word “CEO” and think, wait, why does the decentralized open standard have a CEO?

You’re going to hear me and Eugen say the phrase “benevolent dictator for life” in dead seriousness because that’s how a lot of these projects are run.

By Mastodon CEO, are you referring to Eugen Rochko? If so, please provide a link substantiating that he's somehow sold out to Zuckerberg. Thank you.
