This take is silly. Spinning up a mastodon instance would have never made them money at any point. If it was all about money, the instance would never have been made to begin with.

Alternative thought, what about dual sims? Could you not assign a ringtone to a specific sim, and use that sims phone number only for work?

It’s such a dumb take too. Let’s look at other things that need time to load: video games. Often times the loading screens tell you nothing about what’s actually going on, but hilariously some say things like “weeding the garden” or “sniffing some glue” or other things to that effect.

“It’s lying to us” is such a… naive take. It’s just spitting out preprogrammed text to essentially say “nothing had gone wrong but we are still working on this.”
