Haven't read it yet but this is facts
If you're still using this account, I run my own. If you set up a domain and $5 Linode, just spin one up and follow the Ansible instructions. Setting up Lemmy was SHOCKINGLY easy for all the shit Lemmy is actually responsible for handling.

Yeah, the first companies to support Linux clearly saw it had a shit ton of money. If it's a good idea, the right people will pick it up, even if we're dead by the time it happens.

The W3C has shown in the past that it can't be trusted not to take bribes. See alse: EME
When they do go that route, I propose the community fork the standard and continue work that way. We already do this with code.
I'm going to recommend that if W3C starts accepting changes to the AP standard from Meta, the community must maintain a fork that rips out any offending parts.
What the article doesn't mention is just how much time the Fediverse has spent in its infancy, because the drive wasn't there for certain stuff and people only worked on what they cared to work on. Grassroots development, compared to the FB social graph and whatnot, which had paid employees working on it every day, while Jim spent his weekends in his basement tinlering with ActivityPub or OStatus.
Okay, so I really do believe in the Fediverse. I'm working on a really big project in Kotlin that I have the intention of wiring up to AP later on.
