Preemptively blocking commercial players might be an example of stealing defeat from the jaws of victory.

@John @mistercharlie @fediversenews What exactly are you trying to win?

First of all I note that I said "stealing defeat."

Winning would be creating an open standards-based computing environment for social media.

Blocking preemptively might prevent that.

I'm confused, isn't the entire purpose of the ActivityPub group at the W3.org to create an open, standards-based, environment for social media?

It's not to decide who can use it.

@John @mistercharlie @fediversenews That’s their goal, and that’s fine.

My goal is to move the entire planet into decentralized social media platforms.
