@NettoHikari Ah OK. Wasn't aware of that shorthand. First time I've ever seen it on fedi.

@NettoHikari Says a person who does unpaid work for Condé Nast? In order to prove the same point again? Cool.
@deadsuperhero Why the ad hominem in the title? Completely unnecessary, and actually proving his point about pettiness.
@The_KamikaZEN @osma @fediverse If e.g. Komoot and Ride with GPS would collaborate on becoming interoperable for let's say sharing, liking, and comments, they might sway some users away from Strava with the promise of being more open. But tbh, the amount of users migrating would probably still be small, and Strava absolutely rules that industry by network effect.
It's a lot of investment from whoever implements AP, and not much to gain. I think this has to start in the opensource community.
@anova Same. If Amazon created their own ActivityPub implementation, that would be yet another one that has to interop with all the other implementations, thus creating a healthier, more diverse ecosystem. Now people are mostly just running Mastodon on AWS.
The Cloudflare move is important not because of their infra, but because it's a new server implementation, which can only run on Cloudflare, thus always having to interop with other implementations (except for insular, corporate use cases).
@anova Why would you ban yourself from interacting with someone who voluntarily chooses provider X or Y or Z for anything? That's their choice, not yours.
Half the fediverse already runs on servers provided by only 3 companies. If anything, adding more to the mix, both implementations and hosting providers, is healthy for a decentralized ecosystem.
@deadsuperhero Just because you disagree with some things, and you've been here from the start, doesn't mean someone doesn't know what they're talking about. And even if that would be the case, it's an unnecessary insult that makes the recipients of the counterarguments less receptive to whatever is being laid out below.
So if it's in good faith, then I think that's just a poor choice of title. Only wanted to point that out. Feel free to ignore it.
