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.

I actually switched to Endeavor recently. My buddy Eli, however, absolutely swears by Spiral Linux, a Debian-based distro with the same goals Ubuntu had before it became a corporate Snapcraft-forcing shithole

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.

When they do go that route, I propose the community fork the standard and continue work that way. We already do this with code.

I shouldn’t be irrationally angry about a corp going under, but the people working there had some drive you just don’t see these days.

Sometimes I wonder if we’re not being fair to RedHat, but then I remember at the same time they didn’t go under in 2008 like Sun did, and they didn’t take the hit many others did due to COVID.
