I wrote in support of @thisismissem's letter saying that ATProto and ActivityPub ecosystems ought to engage kindly and constructively with each other. https://writings.thisismissem.social/statement-on-discourse-about-activitypub-and-at-protocol/

I have explained my thinking more here: https://github.com/swicg/general/pull/45#issuecomment-3263275752

We face a lot of threats, especially ones greater than each other right now. We should challenge each other, but it is worth engaging so in a constructive way.

Note that it isn't that I am unwilling to critique ATProto. I have written the most cited critiques of ATProto on the internet.

Critique is good. And challenging each other is good.

But let's be constructive and kind.
