       Re AT Protocol "versus" ActivityPub "There does not have to be a “winning” protocol. We do not build a better open social web for everyone by fighting and arguing about protocol superiority." Strongly endorse; collaboration on ths will work way better than competition.https://writings.thisismissem.social/statement-on-discourse-about-activitypub-and-at-protocol/

       @dangillmor "you guys have a nice protocol that is already a web standard but instead of working with you on that in this moment when everybody is looking for alternatives to the closed platforms that are being bought/corrupted by billionaires, we're gonna make this other thing. it definitely won't decrease interest in your project. and while we're not technically decentralized yet and you are, we'll just say we are. and it's just a coincidence people want to fund us and not you. now STFU."

       @dangillmor No.So much no.These people are asking us to judge the AT protocol on its own merits, entirely divorced from Blue Sky, the company founded and funded by fascists. These are the "keep politics out of tech" people who wan to believe that any tech can be apolitical. Blue Sky must be destroyed.As for the purportedly-apolitical and untainted AT protocol, I must again refer to the sage Jules Winnfield: "Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know."
