@quillmatiqAnuj Ahooja @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.

@quillmatiqAnuj Ahooja @dansup So, I'd like to give you some unsolicited advice, since you've been so generous with yours.

If you want to see more cooperation between people on the Fediverse and the ATmosphere, telling people on the Fediverse that they're bad and wrong and nasty isn't working. It may be true, but it's not effective.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://cosocial.ca/users/evan/statuses/116087777324252499 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
