The population doesn’t care about the technology. If we make social media about activitypub more than it is about social media and connecting people - we’ll be shooting our own foot off no mater what meta or anyone does.
Instances and fediverse are great because of the mods, admins and people. Activitypub is the protocol and it’s an open web standard. We should expect web standards and join them but remember the product isn’t the protocol - it’s connecting people
i for one look forward to bridging to p92 and showing them what great communities can be like.
Speaking of not caring about technology, what is p92?
Meta's attempt to fill the twitter void. At one time it was going to be called Barcelona, but now it's apparently going to be called Threads. Coming to a Fediverse near you later this summer.
I hate that name, it’s too generic and is going to eat up into other matters that use the word threads. This is going to be annoying.
That is entirely on purpose; Same as with "meta" and "metaverse"
