     Why is your name attached to Free Our Feeds"?

     This looks like a scam to me.

     No structure or governance as Free Our Feeds pinky promise that they have "9 custodians", unnamed, to manage donations. They will have the foundation set up by "the end of 2025". But send money now.

     And all the while activity pub exists and does what they want my money to do. What the actual fuck?

     @worik Did you look at my blog to see if I wrote a long article explaining this before messaging me about it? Because I did.

     "Enshittification isn’t merely the result of greed or foolishness — it is the inevitable consequence of a captive userbase."

     This is the key.
