Okay, here's some more comments. By the time David and I spoke, most of the people interviewed for the piece seemed very optimistic that we did it, we're in The Future, ActivityPub made it and this is it, this is our moment! Apparently I was a refreshing change of pace by *not* delivering only that attitude. There's reasons for celebration of this moment and also caution and also a sense that things are not done and I'm glad the post carried those forward. In other words, the moment we're in deserves a *lot* of emotions, and I think the piece reflects them.

A lot of what I spent time on in the interview, and it was a few hours and a lot was cut out, was about the history of the fediverse as it came to be and the challenges I perceive the fediverse, as it stands today, as likely to hit, and thus how we're positioning our research within the Spritely Institute.

As usual, most of the things you say gets cut. But I'm happy with the parts that made it in.

I'm also happy with this moment, that all that work was very much so not going to waste. But I am looking forward with where decentralized networks have yet to go, and I'm even more optimistic about that.
