i think there's an expectation of instances to stick around for a long time once they pass a certain threshold -- if an instance shuts down after a year or two, it's not so surprising. but the recent shutdown notices have taken me by surprise bc they're much older and more well-established, so there was a sense that they'd be around for much longer. i guess it just goes to show that anything can happen, and there really are no guarantees.

@trwnh I think the takeaway is admins should probably have a fallback admin who is a part of the community for a long time, so there isn't a trust issue if they ever need to hand it off. There's not much a responsibile admin can do at this point if they want to call it quits.

activitypub as an ecosystem has no authority like the xmmp standards foundation, which tends to lead toward a "fuck around and find out" approach. planning on extending the spec? just do it

this is a really bad way to make standards imo, and i'm not sure the "fedi enhancement proposal" thing is a significant improvement because they lack any sort of authority. everything is really just best-effort

@trwnh

Do you envision your hypothetical ActivityPub "authority" as being comprised of the software developers who actually create the software that make up the Fediverse?

Or do you envision your hypothetical ActivityPub "authority" structured differently?

a computer can never be held accountable

therefore a computer must never make a management decision

@trwnh a computer can never be held accountable.

But the trillionaire corporation that used it can and should.

@trwnh Oh what a nice demo design. I wish ours was like that instead of a static screenshot...
