Been looking into #Maven all morning
Just going to copy-paste two posts
The head admin/dev @jsecretan claims:
"Happy to remove any of your posts from Maven and cease ingestion from those servers going forward"
So, after the fact, individuals on Mastodon have to contact you personally and ask you to stop?
Is that your position?
Reminds me of Byron Miller (@Supernovae @universeodon.com) and his since-deleted "In four months of having full text seach [we haven't heard from anyone who has be directly harmed]..."
That last is a paraphrase because Supernovae has pretty much removed any mention of himself from the Fediverse, right down to deleting his involvement with Mastodon on Github, causing renchap to opine:
"I suspect that @Supernovae closed it because they do not want to be involved with Mastodon anymore."

Executive summary: there are a lot of people On Here(tm) who don't appreciated every new idea all you bright-eyed young creatives can come up with
@deadsuperhero
Instructive to read #Maven's #About page and see who's behind it.
Here: https://www.heymaven.com/about
Selected excerpts from "Who is behind Maven?"
"CEO Ken Stanley is an expert on open-ended discovery in both AI and human systems and ... (most recently leading the Open-Endedness Team at #OpenAI )."
At: "Is Maven part of a larger company?"
"No, Maven is an independent startup."
But
"Here are a few of our investors, who also commented on their reasons for supporting Maven:
-- Ev Williams, co-founder of #Twitter: “Maven lets you follow your deepest curiosities instead of the trends of the day.”
-- Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI: ”In Maven, there is a chance for AI to play a role in fixing much that is broken in our online discourse.”
-- Rana El Kaliouby, co-founder of Affectiva..."

Where have I heard that name before?
Everything he touches tends to inevitably turn to shit. This guy and his fellow silicon valley cronies are scum of the earth
