Going completely slide-less today!

Reflecting on her article about How Decentralized Bluesky is, and asking introspectively whether ActivityPub can win big in the wake of ATProto's surging popularity.

Drawing parallels to Lisp vs UNIX.

"The fediverse has a lot of people who care about the ethics of the technology — we need to run with that."

Q: how should we grow the fediverse?

A: we should worry less about growth, and more about empowerment of the end user

@cwebber@social.coop "I am pro fediverse but I am more pro empowerment... The majority of people on the fediverse were somewhere else first. Then something bad happened."
