Imagine my disappointment that this does not appear to be the slap fight originally proposed, just in a courtroom. Legal battle booooring.

Awesome. They can stay busy fighting each other while we happily go on without them over here on the fediverse.

yeah, this feels like a walking advertisement for 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?

I'm rooting for a long drawn out fight.

Wait.... that sounded really american, didn't it. Maybe I should ship lawyers to both sides.
