- 0xDEAFBEAD 2y agoI really miss this quality and style of internet argumentation. Wish we saw it more nowadays.
- dannyobrien 2y agoIf I can point to another example that demonstrates that this can still be done: Christine Lemmer-Webber, one of the editors of the ActivityPub standard, and Bryan Newbold, who works on BlueSky's AT Protocol discussing at length the philosophy, terminology and the pros and cons of the various social media protocols emerging at the moment: [1] https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/ https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/ [2] https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3lbvbtqrg5t2t https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3lbvbtqrg5t2t [3] https://dustycloud.org/blog/re-re-bluesky-decentralization/ https://dustycloud.org/blog/re-re-bluesky-decentralization/
