"I don't think that would be accurate at all, in terms of what I presume most might think."

That was in reference to Elena's comment about being viewed as a team player... and nothing else.

As for "my memories failing me...", I was recalling from memory what I read years ago and recollected as Eugen's comments on why he had chosen to work on ActivityPub and Mastodon. I'm not a member of the board, nor do I have access to info on those events.

@_elena @lumiworx I for one am not one of those people. For me it's ActivityPub only.

@_elena @Gargron @lumiworx

I am also, but maybe in a different way.

As someone who helped create ActivityPub and works every day to promote its use, I absolutely believe that everyone should make and use ActivityPub-native software. At SWF, we only do ActivityPub projects.

But if someone chooses to build on ATProto, and to make their software and accounts bridgeable so we can stay connected, that's infinitely better than being cut off entirely.

@_elena @Gargron @lumiworx

I mentioned elsewhere that I think supporting the openness of the Atmosphere is important for whatever comes next there. Whether BlueSky thrive or don't survive, the more the ATproto stack is standardized and independent, the better it is for the Fediverse.

@slothrop@chaos.social @_elena@mastodon.social @lumiworx@mastodon.social Excellent way to put it for sure.

Centralization is easy. You control it all. It's not good for people that want innovation and choice.

Decentralization brings freedom, innovation, choice, but offers a lot of technical roadblocks.

I just want choice. I can choose what's best for my family. I don't need Tim Apple, or whoever to tell me what's good for us, while trapping us into a fish bowl and making us work for our food.
