1. I'm not the creator of ActivityPub. It's a group effort, by the W3C Social Web Working Group, with leadership by Christine Lemmer-Webber and Jessica Tallon as editors.
2. I don't remember calling everyone on X evil, but I do think using your social media presence to support such an unfair employer is a bad thing to do. If you have some context, I'd be happy to answer to it.
3. I don't know anything about the API at Threads. But it's their API, so their rules, I guess?
@3dcandy literally the creator of #ActivityPub@evan (who ironically when Musk just bought Twitter called all users there "evil" while people were just trying to use a social media channel)
@tanepiper@3dcandy I'd definitely recommend either using an ActivityPub platform with an open API, like Mastodon, or even better using platforms that support the ActivityPub API, which is an open standard.
@tanepiper@3dcandy I'm also not sure how great I feel about mass-download API clients, which it sounds like was the point of those cease-and-desist letters. It's definitely a touchy subject for a lot of people on the fediverse.
@tanepiper@3dcandy finally, do you not think it was weird that Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk were going to have a physical fight, and it was literally over ActivityPub? I still think that's really bizarre.
@tanepiper@3dcandy I looked this over and I still agree with the remaining posts. (I still disagree with the statement in the poll, too.)
I think there's a difference between saying an action is wrong, like supporting an evil company, and saying that 'all users there [are] "evil"'. I think my post makes that pretty clear.
So, no, I don't think I said all Twitter users are evil.
