At first I thought this was about the Pebble smart watch from 2012. Pretty confused how that becomes a Mastadon instance.

The founder of that pebble is now heading a matrix-derived decentralized chat service called beeper so it's not too far from the truth :)

I love how weird the Internet can be

I use Beeper and it's actually pretty good

I'm not surprised. They hired the developer of all the major chat protocol bridges.

I use the big self hosted ansible playbook more for privacy reasons (self hosting everything) but I know it's good! I like their client also but it's not open source I think.

Me too. I was stoked for about three seconds before I clicked on the article.
