The Community Group for #ActivityPub is drafting an open letter calling for respect and collaboration between the people working on the different protocols in the open social web.

I'm signing the letter, and with it, I have some thoughts regarding discourse, decentralisation and why I think this space matters.

How many whatabboutisms do you have to do each day per account to earn your btc?

I do not earn BTC talking about AT Proto.

I mod !fedigrow@lemmy.zip and !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com , and try to make the ActivityPub platform grow and better known.

Qualifying someone as being paid by Bluesky when talking about non-Bluesky managed AT Proto platforms such as deer.social or Blacksky doesn't appear as good faith for conversations.

It was actually sorta funny to see an accusation against a fediverse member I know well enough from posts to roll my eyes at. I think I had someone call me a tankie the other day not that long after I had an interminable argument with a workers owning the means of production level socialist.

There is hard evidence that BlueSky’s users are centralized on a single instance: https://arewedecentralizedyet.online/

When Gmail started supporting XMPP, did that mean that XMPP as a protocol wasn't decentralized?

For someone ALLEGEDLY not being paid by the for profit company bluesky, you sure are doing a lot of whataabouting and deflecting for them!
