@sun out of every single healthy conversations out here, that one is real ass. doesn't make any logical sense.
@yonle the post the first was replying to was completely reasonable and “you get blocked for a reason” is a bad argument imo and the reply shows why. People aren’t fair.
@sun and it's no wonder the specs never going anywhere, useless bunch of philistines
@i @phnt the same crticisms of ostatus apply to activitypub. that a bunch of standards all standing on each others shoulders in a trenchcoat to make this one use-case work (microblogging) won't magically create interoperability with other services that leverage one or more of those open-web standards.
you use rss--but you can't consume some other rss feeds, and rss readers can't read your rss feed.
you use webmention--but you can't interoperate with blogs
you use websub--but you can't interop with aggregators
instead of a tight and targeted spec for use cases you drag in a shitload of baggage to be "spec-compliant" with a spec you were only using out of design convenience, but then you have extra work and mismatch with functionality so you end up cutting corners and you're not compatible anyway (see: json-ld)
AP sometimes can do these things partially because it has enough traction that people just...implement AP instead of just the minimal standard. At which point it could have been anything else, even ostatus to some extent (ostatus had no private messages admittedly)
