@macgirvin Admittedly I come at that from the angle of ostatus and the lot of everyone who takes a dump on GNU social, but a lot of people seem to take the "move fast and break things" approach and disparage more mature projects.  These newer projects don't seem to ask themselves if there's perhaps a reason people did things a certain way.

I have to admit I have a particular aversion to ActivityPub because while its branded as the new hotness, it fixes none of OStatus's problems and adds some new ones of it's own.  It's overspecified in places that don't matter (why do we care what format a time is in as long as we can decipher it?) and underspecified in the places that matter (what exactly is an actor object?)  It's a hot mess, and I'm tired of people asking me to implement it.  I'm not interested - it'd just be adding problems to postActiv without any benefits (unless you count "being part of the cool kid's club", but I don't.)  I guess I'm preaching to the choir here, but if we truly care about making a decentralized network, nomadic identity and distributed media are the two problems we have to figure out.  The latter is more complicated in the controls side than it is in the actual implementation, since we don't need to be hosting kiddie porn and the like.
