Even though I’m on here, I honestly lurk most of the time and don’t fully understand the activitypub vs at protocol war. This was a great explainer that will reach a lot of people. Really appreciate a lot of David’s takes. I hope David and others at MKBHD become aware of and talk about Lemmy soon too.
As much as fediverse development is centered on Mastodon and lemmy, and as much as I want them to succeed, Threads is bigger than both of them combined. FB used their monopoly to leapfrog the rest of the Fediverse here.
Bigger isn’t better.
Yeah, that’s true. But if we consider “the Fediverse” to mean “internet forums that support Activity Pub”, then Mastodon is unforenot the biggest pleyer on the Fediverse in terms of user count, public impact, and funding.
Of course, Threads can go fuck themselves. Open source communities have no obligation to play megacorps’ games.
Yeah see you’ve got the same brain-worm thing going on. Its like a disease.
Its an attitude or an approach that is embedded in a world view which everyone on that panel displayed.
To do what? For what ends? Something that panel seemed fully incapable of was understanding why people are on the fediverse. Something I dont think you realize that you too are missing as well.
Ask yourself: Why are people leaving spaces like Twitter for Mastadon? Why did we leave reddit (many of us who had been there for years) to hangout on a smaller, more diminutive lemmy?
I dont know what argument you’re trying to make, or what you think I’m saying, but I don’t appreciate you saying I have brain worms. Fuck off.

Judging by the downvotes it’s Stockholm syndrome.
