@evanEvan Prodromou @dansup I'm not gaslighting anyone, Evan, and I would hope that you would know me better than that after our conversations.

You can throw stones back at the Fedi's bet around Meta and all the other companies that promised ActivityPub integration but never delivered. What are we even doing here?

@evanEvan Prodromou @dansup The number of developers and communities who've been pushed out of the Fedi because of this elitist mentality should be alarming to any builder in this space. Are we ever going to learn to do better, or are we going to continue pushing more people away?

The vibes aren't good, Evan, and I really hope you're aware of that, because vibes make or break a community.
