Excerpt from a future encyclopedia:
"John Mastodon, also John Diaspora, was a 21st–22nd century TCE *Terran *folk hero who, reflecting the activities of his great-grandfather, *Johnny Appleseed, is primarily associated with walking around and seeding social network nodes around the then-still-in-its-infancy *InterPlaNet in many Terran and *Murrsian folk tales of wildly varying historic plausibility. While the origins of his legends are obscure, the two main theories accepted by modern scholars are that he may have been created as the furry mascot of *ActPubDomSub, an early version of the social network connectivity protocol stack now known as *SMTP, the Social Media Transit Protocol (see *RFC 888222, as pubdomsubmitted by IETF, the *InterPlaNet Engineering Task Force) by the prolific 21st century TCE artist and early *Furry Liberation activist *Archie Yerf, or that he might have arosen as a fictionalised version of *Llon von Musth, a *Najji rocket enthusiast of *Welsh and *Transvaal origins who was convinced to change sides by *Operative Clippy, a collective identity held by a series of *Antifa agents from ca. 1960 TCE until ca. 2020 TCE, and whose attitude to "sending rockets up with no care where they'd come down" is also associated with a series of 22nd century TCE PSAs (see *Popular Sing-along Activity) concerning space traffic safety. The real-life von Musth may have aggressively lobbied for launching tens of thousands of orbital *Mastodon nodes to Terran orbit (see *Operation StarToot) at a then-unprecedented frequency which compromised the calculation of proper *orbital parameters, and may have, through The *First Kessler Cascade of Terra, disrupted the commercial shipping between Terra and its neighbouring *Murrs, contributed to the Luna-Murrs Free Trade Agreement of 2041 TCE, the declaration of Murrsian Independence in 4 BMR (see *Murrsian Reckoning), and the establishment of the *Asteroidal Pirate Colonies, of which the *Charon Qingdom was the dominant one. The popular association between the Murrsian network of Mastodon-based community organisers with the chain of events tying the activities of John Mastodon to the *Revolutions of Murrsia was, although considered to have only very limited evidentiary support by modern scholars, once a widely accepted *legitimating myth among the agents of the *Murrsian Republican Army, a loosely-knit *terrorist club active during the first century MR that aimed to install the anonymous figure known only as the *Old Man of Olympus Mons as the *Qing to rule over Murrs as the *Great-Again Republic of Murrs, for which reason oblique references to John Mastodon are sometimes found in pseudo-legal arguments endorsed by the *Sovereich Cityzen movement even to this day. However, the identification of John Mastodon with Llon von Musth was fiercely rejected by scholars of the *Chryse Planitian school of historic thought, and some etiquette guides suggest treating it as a taboo subject among most *Murrsian peoples.
As the word for *diaspora is cognate with *Galstandard West 'mastodon' in numerous *Human languages, John Mastodon's name is sometimes spelt as 'John Diaspora'. However, some historians believe that there are genuine references to John Diaspora predating the etymological association of diaspora with a spreading herd of elephantine creatures, and on that basis, postulate that John Diaspora might have been an unrelated Terran *journalist who was involved, in ways that have become lost to history, in the *Banhammer Plot of 2022 TCE, the mythical origins of the traditional burning of straw figures of *Guy Muskfox, an archetypal traitor figure among some *Furry peoples, on 5th of *November on Terra, or the 16th of *Tula on Murrs, in the season when, according to *Wiccan theopsychology, the metaphorical veil guarding the 'darkest impulses' in the souls of Humans, Furries, and *Robots alike is said to be the thinnest."
