       For years I had such a hard time explaining to *anyone* why this ActivityPub spec we were working so hard on matteredWhen you think about it Elon paid 44 billion just to advertise the importance of the fediverse, gotta give that guy some credit, real generous of him

       The true believers were always behind you @cwebber . I remember in the early days of the net trying to convince *anyone* that it could be a useful tool for activists. Now you can't get them off the damn thing;) Someone has got to be first...

       @cwebber I remember when we were waiting for the bus at RacketCon 2019 and you were trying to explain to me how Spritely addressed the shortcomings of the Fediverse and I could hear the gears in my head turning trying to grasp it but it was difficult and I really only kinda got half of what you were sayingnow I'm on the other side of those conversations! it's tricky, especially when talking to people who have only known corporate networksbut on the other hand, explaining why user-empowering social networking in general is important has gotten a lot easier!

       @technomancy @cwebber Reminds me of cwebber trying to explain object capabilities to the folks at APConf 2019, something that took me a while to grasp.And it grew on me and nowadays I'm like "Aaah, I want more capability-based security systems (not always object kind), specially at the OS-level, it's great for least-privilege".

       @cwebber It’s so exciting to see this take off! You get tons of credit for sticking to it & getting #ActivityPub out the door way back in the day when few others saw the vision. A warm hug to you! #SocialWebWG #W3CSpecification

       @doctormo @lanodan @technomancy @cwebber I think the article that finally got ocap through to me was: http://habitatchronicles.com/2017/05/what-are-capabilities/I still don't understand half of what Christine is talking about though. I just accept the future will be developed by people WAY smarter than me.

       @ocdtrekkie @doctormo @lanodan @technomancy If you haven't, I recommend reading the Heart of Spritely https://spritely.institute/static/papers/spritely-core.html
