When I opened up Lemmy this morning I could not believe my eyes. The top story was a headline from Forbes stating:
« ‘Open Source And Ethical’ TikTok, WhatsApp And Instagram Alternatives Could Transform Social Media ».

The article mostly focused on #Pixelfed and did a fairly good job explaining how #ActivityPub works. But they spelled #Mastodon « Mastadon » over and over again with no links to it. Yikes.

B for the effort, but please editors do better!

@_elena It seems they've fixed it, thankfully.

That said, I find the MastAdon misspelling interesting, because to me it's obvious that it's not spelled with an A because I'd pronounce that differently, but apparently a lot of speakers pronounce these two spellings the same. I wonder if it's native English speakers generally, or perhaps to do with dialects.

@stveje that's amazing! @elduvelle had reached out to the author about the typo. Great job!
