     @waifu @alex @colinsmatt11 I couldn't understand either. It looks like a dollop of bikeshedding on whines about platform branding and (follow me on this, it's gonna sound weird) closed open-source ecosystems due to the fact ActivityPub's standards move slow as molasses in a time where we need movement to get away from the hellpit that is twitter and at the same time satisfy the left with @Gargron's special piece of hugbox shit.

     @colinsmatt11 @alex i tried reading this topic but it seems in missing something, was someone mad because someone else was using images as they wanted? I have no idea...

     Tldr : "even though the things are shit, it's my shit so I'm not going to clean it" attitude.
     
     The tread in question started with improving interoperability between software and remove branding them from the so there won't be mastodon this, pleroma that.
     Instead there would be standardized fields and images support and the branding would go in the hands of community (aka whoever is running the instance).
     The reason to increase the adoption.
     
     The point is the tread devolved into shitfest because many of them simply don't care about branding or adoption, because things are working for them like how they want.
