@mekkaokereke do you have a link to a writeup about fedi/Mastodon features that would make Black users safer?

The world where the tech-literate use one set of technologies and the "unwashed masses" use whatever mass-produced proprietary thing is being shipped by megacorps breeds elitism and contempt.

It's childish contrarianism to want to outright reject Meta adopting activitypub.

There are plenty of reasons to be concerned about what this means and how to handle it but if you want this technology to matter in the slightest, it needs widespread adoption. Otherwise it's just a toy for the terminally online, technological masturbation, software solipsism.

Maybe you want the tech you use to be a toy forever, but I don't. I want these things to become standard, boring, in the background. You don't get there by rejecting every attempt at commercialization.

@GrayGooGirl do you have a news link?
