   I've gotten many talk rejections, I expect and am able to handle them. But I've never been so hurt as to be told that a talk by @tsyesika and myself, the co-editors of ActivityPub, when we explicitly clarified would be about decentralized social media including activitypub present and future, that it would be rejected for not being about activitypub enough

   That is so deeply, incredibly hurtful

   What did I spend all these years of my life for, what was the point of all this? I can't stop crying

     @cwebber definitely their loss, didn’t even know who they were talking to!

     I'm not upset about the rejection, I'm upset about the reason

     @cwebber I'm pretty shocked that you even had to submit a proposal rather than being invited for a keynote.

     @cwebber @tsyesika Sounds like a them problem not a you problem. If this helps.

     I posted this in a real state of hurt last night, and the hurt was contextual. I will say that, at least, I was listened to when I explained why I was hurt so badly about this, and am grateful for that.

     @cwebber @tsyesika

     We're sorry. We only want to talk about ActivityPub without context.
