       @emacsenTwo thingsFirst, that keyboard didn't have the 🖕 emojiSecond, webfinger, social capital, and identity based on infrastructure are part of a culture where developers, imo, aren't doing enough to resist capture by capital@librelounge

       @AceNovo @librelounge It sounds like you have some really deep thoughts and convictions around this topic. I'm afraid I don't know enough of your perspective to be able to understand what you're saying about how webfinger relates to capital culture.Could you help me out by explaining or pointing me somewhere to understand you better?

       @emacsenThere's a whole lot of Mastodon meta there with Eugen being preoccupied with social capital and involved with a couple companies that are quite ethical by capitalist standards, but very much cut from that cloth. Pull requests for accessibility features are already a battlefield, with contributors running interference for Eugen by demanding documentation for the requirements, and, umm, no. That's not actually a reasonable request

       @AceNovo What I'm hearing is that you are against capitalism. And I hear your concerns around Mastodon and getting community supporting pull requests in the software.I don't personally love Webfinger but how does mapping account names to URNs relate to the above concerns?What am I missing?

       @emacsenWebfinger anchors personal identifiers to the namespace of http schema, publishing patterns, and accompanying power dynamics. So, for me, when ActivityPub implementations can turn off webfinger, it'll be a watershed moment where decisions made in Mastodon development no longer represent attack vectors into the Fediverse as a whole
