@ricmac @evan
I think the most important part of this interview is Evan's concern that the Mastodon-specific protocol "limits the creativity for developers wanting to build in the fediverse."
We would be better served by a generic ActivityStreams protocol that could be used independently of specific server or client implementations.
"Do it like Mastodon does" is not a good definition for an open protocol.
@bobwyman @evan great point, although just to note the words you quoted were mine. I don't want to put words in Evan's mouth; that was just my interpretation of what he said.
