sure this is all very bad for activitypub but this is truly amazing content

Ok, well, I'd rather reinforce good behavior

[seachanger@alaskan.social]

@jenniferplusplus @jdp23 @laurenshof no doubt eugen has has an enormous practical impact on mastodon but Evan is just such a sparkling poster boy for the absolutely shittiest and most offputting part of this whole world

@seachanger @jdp23 @laurenshof
If I was forced to choose between all Evans or all Eugens, I'd choose Eugen in a heartbeat

@laurenshof I thought I was in a fever dream watching this play out yesterday.

@jenniferplusplus @laurenshof @seachanger OK I feel like I am missing out on hilarious lore here. Who is this guy (aside from someone who felt the need to lecture Christine Lemmer-Webber about ActivityPub, which, well, lmao)

[jdp23@neuromatch.social]

Fair! @jenniferplusplus @seachanger @laurenshof

@laurenshof people inquiring about privacy/security considerations seems like a real trigger point.

@j0ebaldw1n Evan is one of the 5 coauthors of ActivityPub, together with Christine. He's also part of the Social Web Foundation, and is an active contributor to the current maintenance of AP at the w3c. the other 4 have largely left the work on AP (2 of them work on another protocol now), and Evan does most of the current work on AP

@laurenshof @cwebber @evan what I really like is the openness of it all.

On the signing issue, I'm with Christine. I like Evan's viewpoint for social systems, but not for digital systems with "complex system" mechanics and active intelligent threat actors.
