Scary stuff! Fuck google , Microsoft and facebook
Same reason I am highly critical of Jack Dorsey's BlueSky and its attempt at rolling out a separate protocol. The last thing we need is for the Fediverse to be fragmented into a dozen protocols that do things ever-so-slightly differently and prevent network convergence.
Another reason to avoid it is that Jack Dorsey supports known anti-vaxxer and general conspiracy kook Robert F Kennedy Jr. Not the kind of people I'd want to run my social network.
That's bonkers, I don't even see what there is about the man to support. He's just an amalgam of nonsense conspiracies.
My boomer parents unironically think he's the best politician since sliced bread for the last few weeks.
It is very easy to argue that network convergence is NOT a good thing. That's the whole point of the "embrace, extended, destroy" point you responded to.
The point being is that inventing a new protocol is either a case of Not-Invented-Here syndrome or an attempt to fragment the ecosystem - hence jumping straight into the extinguish phase. It does not paint BlueSky as a good actor in this race - especially as there are no substantial improvements over ActivityPub as far as I can tell.
i steal your formatted post, to post it again. I want visibility for this.
Oh yeah. Please do this.
