@dansup from my point of view, implementing a protocol requires a very different skill set than developing a protocol. So no, i do not consider myself a protocol developer.

As you know, comment policy was not part of the original protocol as released in 2018.

Also there is an open space where new protocol enhancements are discussed. You know it: #^https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep

IMO "join my discord/matrix" is not how actually open development should look like.
