Gregory's Server@humanetech @dansup @cj If only open source projects could become a community effort and not just a never ending toy developers just abandon at will multiple times. Like, I'd love to see Activity Pub become a very solidly maintained protocol that's built on. Take RSS, for example. But the internet at large is trying to kill RSS, so... how did email become so maintained?

 @blindscribe EMail only exists because there is literally nothing else to communicate without beeing forces to use someones platform. * https://matrix.org/blog/2021/07/21/germanys-national-healthcare-system-adopts-matrix |

In "The Fediverse Challenge" I quoted Moxie's reason for not making Signal decentralized:
"We got to the first production version of IP, and have been trying for the past 20 years to switch to a second production version of IP with limited success. We got to HTTP version 1.1 in 1997, and have been stuck there until now. Likewise, SMTP, IRC, DNS, XMPP, are all similarly frozen in time circa the late 1990s"
(Not saying that is a valid reason)
