    At first I thought this was about the Pebble smart watch from 2012. Pretty confused how that becomes a Mastadon instance.

      The founder of that pebble is now heading a matrix-derived decentralized chat service called beeper so it’s not too far from the truth :)

          I’m not surprised. They hired the developer of all the major chat protocol bridges.
