An interesting development from the Gander Social front...

Amber Mac confirms this may have been a rug pull.

#canada #fediverse #gander

Comment from Chad Ohman reading "I’ve known you since the Call for Help era, Amber. I am feeling like this is a rug pull?" to which Amber Mac replied "Hi! Thanks for following. I think the rug has been pulled out from under us, frankly, as we have tried to support Gander, but they made a big pivot along the way, so I'm not too keen to have my name attached. Their priority seems to be crowdfunding vs. advisors/investors. I tried!"

We are both not involved with Gander as investors or advisors. We respect their ongoing efforts and wish them well in the future."

@chad I got the he idea behind Gander but never really knew why they didn't just create a well funded Mastodon instance.

Somebody someday is going to create an instance that is well funded and they will market it as a standalone social media alternative that just happens to run on Mastodon. It will have it's own standalone app, so no complex on-boarding and it will accept advertisers to make itself sustainable.

If it's done right it will succeed where others have failed.

@chad Suddenly my MSTN.ca sticker seems like a much better investment.
