A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Imo, it's way more likely she got her information about BS from the website/a press release/a contact at BS and like you said, didn't bother to get a contrasting opinion from anyone associated with Mastodon (probably because it's a lot harder to get ahold of someone from a distributed project like Mastodon).
So she got BS from BS, what a surprise... This kind of "journalism" drives me nuts, more and more medias owned by idiots with too much money promotes these kind of crap with zero nuance and fact checking :/
To be fair, my guess about the source of those claims is also totally unsubstantiated and quite possibly bullshit 😉
