I sometimes picture fediverse as one of these old horseracing toys from the 50s, where the horses represent all the various perspectives and expectations people have of the fediverse. There is no horse to bet on, positions change all the time, horses change tracks randomly. And furthermore there no finish line, the race is an endless slog. The prize of a robust #ActivityPub protocol forever out of reach, getting more elusive as time progresses.

Antique horseracing game from the fiftees, small horse figures on a plastic track, that can be slid forward.

@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. @silverpill @raphaelRaphael Lullis @julian @mariusormarius ActivityPub as a space is just a mess, we have multiple types of social media clashing all over one protocoll whcih has a bunch of extensions with some being duplicates of other extensions and then diffrent people fighting over which one is the proper one to implement. At somepoint we just need to reset everything and start from a clean plate cause this shit cant go on forever.
