All those "core fedi" folk that kept telling us #meta joining the #fediverse would be a good thing - https://hachyderm.io/@det/112610136883080131
@tanepiper I don't know many who thought it was good.... but yeah, I expect nothing less from Meta
@3dcandy Just take a look at /r/mastodon... facebook defenders everywhere.
@SiteRelEnby I have never ever visited reddit
@3dcandy@mastodon.social @SiteRelEnby@tech.lgbt
Trust me you've missed nothing.
@3dcandy literally the creator of #ActivityPub @evan (who ironically when Musk just bought Twitter called all users there "evil" while people were just trying to use a social media channel)
@tanepiper @evan as I don't follow him either I haven't seen it.... like I said not seen many who thought it was a good thing. I choose not to follow lots of people like that
1. I'm not the creator of ActivityPub. It's a group effort, by the W3C Social Web Working Group, with leadership by Christine Lemmer-Webber and Jessica Tallon as editors.
2. I don't remember calling everyone on X evil, but I do think using your social media presence to support such an unfair employer is a bad thing to do. If you have some context, I'd be happy to answer to it.
3. I don't know anything about the API at Threads. But it's their API, so their rules, I guess?
@tanepiper @3dcandy I'd definitely recommend either using an ActivityPub platform with an open API, like Mastodon, or even better using platforms that support the ActivityPub API, which is an open standard.
@tanepiper @3dcandy I'm credited as the 5th author on the spec. I was the co-editor of Activity Streams 2.0, where I did a lot more work.
@tanepiper @3dcandy I'm also not sure how great I feel about mass-download API clients, which it sounds like was the point of those cease-and-desist letters. It's definitely a touchy subject for a lot of people on the fediverse, as we saw with Maven just this week.
@tanepiper @3dcandy finally, do you not think it was weird that Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk were going to have a physical fight, and it was literally over ActivityPub? I still think that's really bizarre.
@evan @3dcandy You sort of did - https://prodromou.pub/@evan/109587320708151526
@tanepiper people hate when that happens!
@janl Yes, and they don't reply after that either - I noticed the same when I called him out the first time.
@tanepiper this is a creepy, threatening thing to say to a stranger.
I'm blocking you now.
@tanepiper @evan @3dcandy People are allowed to change their opinions over time as situations shift, details change, and new perspectives come in.
I’m constantly interrogating my own biases and adjusting to new information. I’ve totally said things in the past that I would say today I was 100% wrong about. I would argue that it’s healthy.
@deadsuperhero @evan @tanepiper I didn't see the original posts and don't think really that this is an "issue". Free speech etc. but it all seems to be opinions, nothing more. Things change, people change - I don't hold things against people unless they are repeat offenders
@tanepiper @3dcandy I looked this over and I still agree with the remaining posts. (I still disagree with the statement in the poll, too.)
I think there's a difference between saying an action is wrong, like supporting an evil company, and saying that 'all users there [are] "evil"'. I think my post makes that pretty clear.
So, no, I don't think I said all Twitter users are evil.
