@evan can't a protocol definition, its "specifications", be put under a license (even not a software license) denying the possibility of its use in closed source software?

Hello @evan, sorry if i disturb you. Someone said to me the ActivityPub protocol is licensed under the MPL (Mozilla Public License), which lets developers use it even in closed source projects. I can't verify this assertion, but it's clear that it is licensed under a licence which lets developers use it even in closed source projects, as Meta - and maybe others - is doing it in their Threads software. My question is: which license is ActivityPub using? And: would it be possible, given its current license, to fork ActivityPub, name the fork something like "FreeActivityPub" and put it under a license, like the GPL, which prohibits its use in closed source projects?

@evan @Gargron
Thank you for the tips :)
"My" problem with mastodon is what i already described in my previous post, and i'll try to make it more explicit now: i don't want to use a federated software which is ruled by a development teams which thinks it's ok to open up to interactions with threads. I don't want to contribute in legitimating threads-meta: we know what they do and did: bad moderation with super-exploited african workers paid few bucks to see the worst posts from the whole globe 8 hours a day and probably 6 or 7 days a week; censorship against kurdish people - for example - and no censorship againsta fascists, nazis, lord of wars, based on explicit decisions by meta CEOs; no privacy, profiling of users to sell them publicity from the worst top industries, even those of fossil fuels; and so on, and on, and on.

Good morning all. I asked in direct messages to @evan, one of those who contributed designing the ActivityPub protocol, if he could suggest to me an AP server + web frontend, because i would like to try to setup a "medium sized" AP instance. He answered "Mastodon". I asked him "Do you mean mastodon as it is now, including its 'partnership' with meta?"; he answered "Yes".

> Restricting hate speech and calls for violence is not an assault on freedom; it’s a defense of its boundaries. Your freedom to speech ends where it encroaches my freedom to live. A tolerant system cannot tolerate intolerance.

I do realise what you wrote in the 1st paragraph, and i totally agree with the second; i'm just sure voting democrats now would only and *perhaps* delay an insurrectional attempt by the "alt-right". And i'm not totally against violence, https://invidious.lunar.icu/watch?v=jf9d3cwVWBY 🙂

Also, he removed the clause by which the u.s. could, before, use nuclear bombs only in response to direct attacks to the u.s. territory. I can't trust this shit, and i think no one should. (2/2)

I'm not the cynic here, please read again this branch of the thread; and i just think the same of any "representative democratic system". It's not cynism, it's 47 years of personal experience, and some historical knowledge.

@jpaskaruk @aral @Radical_EgoCom @simoto @Daojoan
No, i think something like the democratic confederalism of Kurdish people would do.

@jpaskaruk @aral @Radical_EgoCom @simoto @Daojoan
Yes, but i think an international of socialist libertarian revolutions would be the only way to save our species (and many others) from decimation or extinction by the ruling classes and the rich and the military and police élites, be it for the climate problem and-or the wars it's already contributing a lot to spread in the world, just because our masters don't want to renounce their privileges. The greatest evil, for me, is any concentration of power and money and access to material resources.

If i was in the u.s. and biden or another democrat promised they would stop financing and sending weapons to israel and to establish a new, real welfare, and to turn off the ghg polluting industries and to build the sustainable alternatives... i still wouldn't vote, because they already made big promises in electoral campaigns so often, and with less radical programs, and, after the electoral campaign, didn't do what they promised, and did the opposite (except maybe for some internal welfare, but i'm not informed enough on that).
Biden promised in his electoral campaign he would have stopped giving fossils extraction concessions on federal territories, and then when he got elected, did as much as trump (1/2)

@nilikm seems difficult to "get your booster", https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/111461222125397812, in italy too.

@evan
What about non irredentist wars of expansion, like those which caused the biggest genocides in history, made by european states in "america", africa and asia at "the dawn of capitalism", and those which the usa has made and is making all around the world, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_United_States ?

Come down if you dare!
