@evanEvan Prodromou If you agree, then I think you should be promoting and endorsing more kindness and productive criticism instead of threads like this that push people away. You have a major voice here, be a part of pushing a positive culture.

@dansup I have a major voice because I'm ride-or-die for ActivityPub. That's my role.
You and I have different roles in the social web. I think yours is really important, and I'm glad you do it, but it's not mine.
We can achieve a lot together even if we don't agree on everything.
