   @evan it’s funny everybody is answering yes while simultaneously hating threads with all their guts

     @eb @evan this plus facebook etc should not be allowed anywhere near community standards bodies or discussions

     @evan perhaps, the argument is “anybody can implement it but we don’t need to federate with you”

     @RevPancakes @eb so, in your framework, the hundreds of people who work and have worked making ActivityPub, Activity Streams 2.0, and related standards, who've spent decades making this network we're on, would just let the whole thing get steamrolled?

     I don't think you know or appreciate who these people are and how hard they work and why.

     Don't pretend to be the defender of open standards when you treat the people who make them this way. And stay out of my timeline.

     @evan @eb large capitalist organisations like facebook tend to dominate standards bodies since they have more time and resources to engage than hobbyists or small professional teams.

     This means that their interests will dominate and their implementations will proliferate.

     This logic is independent of the goodwill of individuals at fb.

     We’ve seen this before e.g. web browser duopoly and DRM.

     We need to avoid setting up that dynamic from the outset
