npub13zuelxm2m4fq9thy6u3rpu4sw4jc7gzg8er65yml9vjch39cgywsdf8tj3 (npub13zu…8tj3) What if I want to run an instance dedicated to the homonymous metal band, or to ancient extinct mammals, and therefore "Mastodon" doesn't hold any reference to the social network?
Sometimes I can see the argument for brand recognition, unless the brand name is a word in the English vocabulary. If you want brand name protection, then you should pick a name that isn't on the vocabulary. You can't own a vocabulary word and prevent people from using it.
