@maegul @evan it doesn’t match my experience of multiple paths of open source development all learning from each other.
Or the messaging / group chat space. Which is bad (no interop) but also good and robust.
Or that I think “decentralized social” is actually a base account layer that can eventually encompass all apps, and one protocol isn’t going to get it all right.
I’d be more sympathetic if there was robust community protocol evolution for AP and a non BDFL major codebase.
@boris @evan Good response! I buy all of those arguments, and have maybe thought/made them myself (though certainly more crudely!).
A simpler take with a similar spin might be that AP/Fediverse hasn't "earned" being the exclusive and final protocol ... ?
Either way ... I personally suspect your perspective is more representative of the "world's" and what will broadly come in the short-medium term.
Thanks for the perspective/thoughts!
