Btw, damn we should've caused this entire discussion thread to somehow flow to to have it in the archives. Instead of on "now you see me, now you don't" channel. Peekaboo. ๐Ÿซฃ

Here today, gone tomorrow, who made notes? The post-facto interoperability leaders did. Those who happened to be around at the right time to hear things being said on the grapevine.

We need a proper Grassroots standardization process, and a Grassroots open standard that is able to healthily evolve. The good organization of this is just as important as the technical robustness of the protocol, which is the solution artifact at the end of the open standards cocreation pipeline.

The killer app for the fediverse is not nomadic identity. That is either a protocol capability or may refer to an Identity Management app, a solution design.

Problem is, it is no use discussing here. No convergence takes place, other than spontaneous / random convergence. But it does not lead anywhere, not to a common consensus. Not to robust foundations to build on without continuous worries that things break. Microblog communications does not support this, and lacking that support manual processes are needed.

Even the only offers convergence to certain extent. The process is a band-aid, a best-we-have.

In analogy of the horserace, spontaneous convergence and ad-hoc alignment on FEP puzzle pieces by implementers equates to the horseback riders figuring out some basic rules to avoid serious accidents. But this FEP adoption at the same time warps the track, hems them in, alters reality and the future.
