@adriano @jakelazaroff @anildash @janl right protecting your own personal privacy should definitely be somebody else's work.

I shouldn't have to explain why somebody coming from a different network with the intent to monetize what I write without my permission and making me do extra work to avoid that is, yes, somebody else pushing work on me that I didn't want. But here we are.

If they wanted to not have a problem with the protocol, they could have made something *with* activityPub. Granted, people wouldn't have liked the monetization bit either, but.

@adriano @jakelazaroff @anildash @janl um, it is made with ActivityPub. The amount of people who don't actually understand what's happening is pretty wild. Which is entirely my point. You are creating work for other people by not understanding anything about how the system you chose actually works. And then getting mad at them for using it as intended.

@polotek @adriano @jakelazaroff @anildash The irony is that Ryan is asking permission, not forgiveness. He hasn't started running a bridge yet. If he had, likely no-one would notice anyway - did you notice that his original post was bridged from his website?
Instead, he's describing how something could work, and people are fantasising something else entirely and condemning him for it. He's not monetizing anything, he runs a bridge between various social networks and blogs that he pays for.

@janl @adriano @jakelazaroff @anildash sorry Jan. I should stop provoking people. Nobody actually understands my point anyway.
