@DrOinFLA This is the way

@mensrea It is not an interview. It's user testing for our open source contributor experience. Tasks would be a very small Web programming task.

@parkermolloy I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Staying a little connected helps sometimes, but don't overtax yourself.

@sl007 I agree!

@evan
Please see the current “activity” in the Social CG mailing list.

To me “forking the ActivityPub spec.” sounds terrible.

One of the big takeaways from when we built Flattr almost a decade ago is:

It can be harder to get people to accept money than to get people to give money.

If one believe money to be important in creating eg a sustainable open source movement, then one needs to work at least as hard on getting people to accept and use money as on getting people to spend that money.

This is especially important to create a positive self-reinforcing loop where all actors can see the benefits in practice.

@chris thanks!

@donncha @chris @pfefferle yes, I understand that.

The next step in AP adoption is letting people with personal accounts, like me, enable ActivityPub on .com. I hope that's high on the priority list!

I asked when that would be coming, and Chris replied "now", which wasn't true.

That's interesting. I've been having a lot as snacks lately, so less than a week.

@davidjoyner does that extend to programmers?

@chris @donncha @pfefferle I don't think that's true. When I go to the AP screen on WordPress.com, I am asked to upgrade to a business account.

@nighten ohhhh

@mstrmustache also, mustaches are cool. Good handle.

@mstrmustache wowowowowow

@binarytango @markmetz I had more to say here:

@brindy we have public healthcare in Canada, for example. Getting a monthly cash allotment, but no public healthcare, wouldn't be OK with me.
