Folks promoting Bluesky on the fediverse is like the three little pigs doing public relations for the big bad wolf.
But, hey, clearly some folks still haven’t gotten the message that VC and billionaires are bad and that non-corporate spaces have to be protected from corporate ones.
I guess something has to keep the folks who write “what went wrong/if only we’d known” articles in business.
You could take another approach and consider that activitypub has problems that aren’t being solved, and maybe a fresh start by smart devs, which they are, might get us to a better place sooner.
@davew Smart devs, a billionaire, venture capital… hmm, where have I heard this song before?
Sorry, Dave, as far as Jack goes, fool me once…
that was my first reaction when they started, but then i got to know the devs, and i don't think jack is very involved. they have their own ideas.
anyway, i try -- i don't think we win by moralizing. you're in bed with zuck with activitypub, and i wouldn't trust him, and his for sure is in charge of that venture.
@davew Well I’m not in bed with anyone but sadly, yes, the flagship instance and original author have rolled out the red carpet to Mark so they will learn what it means to be a vassal state shortly. The fediverse is a stop gap/bridge that I’d like to see exist for as long as possible but, at the end of the day, not my circus, not my monkeys.
