I read their Technology page which isn’t entirely word salad like the front page is. Based. No one company should control your social graph, I’m an advocate of data sovereignty as well on that note. Also, to corporations: Fuck your authority.

Okay, so I really do believe in the Fediverse. I’m working on a really big project in Kotlin that I have the intention of wiring up to AP later on.
Haven’t read it yet but this is facts
ActivityPub wasn’t built with the purpose of having a “killer app” in mind. That’s centralization logic. The point is for all apps to be able to talk to each other regardless of where on the network and maintaining the ability to do so seamelessly without the user having to think too much about it.
Mastodon should be able to talk to Lemmy. Lemmy should be able to talk to Pixelfed. Et cetera. I don’t believe XMPP had the same purpose, matter of fact I remember it just being a subpar IM protocol iirc, and I don’t see social media going by the wayside the way IM clients of the past did.
That would be too easy for people with an ideological vendetta. In this case, leftists.
Doesnt convey over text bro
No, the implication is that they know everything about technology when in reality they know how to plug a phone into a wall and scroll.
My friend daily drives Chicago95
Just turned a few days ago. Welcome brother!
Oof. Sitting here drinking Crown and scrolling my instance.
They went too far left. I left the plantation and god forbid ActivityPub just be left as a sacred place.
Yeah, the first companies to support Linux clearly saw it had a shit ton of money. If it’s a good idea, the right people will pick it up, even if we’re dead by the time it happens.
25 here. Sick and fucking tired of people calling my gen “digital natives”
No, they re-publish the work of WHATWG in standards form, the vendors literally made a pact not to deal with them. Then sometime in the last decade they standardized EME, even after the technology activists told them fucking not to. Defective By Design said this shit for years, decades, and W3C ignored everyone. I have more reason not to trust Berners-Lee at this point than put any stock in his leadership skills.
The W3C has shown in the past that it can’t be trusted not to take bribes. See alse: EME
When they do go that route, I propose the community fork the standard and continue work that way. We already do this with code.
Emphasis on vile shit
I’m going to recommend that if W3C starts accepting changes to the AP standard from Meta, the community must maintain a fork that rips out any offending parts.
Ah yes, that explains the log4j fiasco
