Stopped reading at "Mastodon BDFL (Benevolent Dictator for Life) ".

Giant eyeroll. It even mentions there's a dozen forks already, just upset that none of the changes have been merged to the origin upstream.

Make an argument without devolving to namecalling in the first 2 paragraphs.

Sorry ... downvoted.

The statement in the article had a footnote that provided a link to a 2022 Verge article in which Rochko said on the "BDFL model":

That’s what I would prefer to stick with, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think there’s better ways to involve other people and have better communication.

Moreover his behaviour in maintaining Mastodon is very much inline with this model. It wasn't name calling, it is literally what he is and happy to be described as.

It's not namecalling, it is a term that gets used and that Rochko talked about himself in an interview. There's a footnote.
