@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 saying

now I'm on the other side of those conversations! it's tricky, especially when talking to people who have only known corporate networks

but 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".

@technomancy @cwebber I'll confess, I also find it a bit amusing that there's some wailing and gnashing of teeth from some folks who seem to regard social networks as some sort of competitive sport.

Relax, guys. Kick back. Sit a spell. ☺️
