Maybe we need #SocialWebFoundation ambassadors to go beyond social media and talk directly with the big names who aren't yet behind #ActivityPub. Ideally publicly. The people supporting other models, those who think the billionaires killed it & those who never saw its value. We have the better arguments and we'd win in a fair fight and imo that's what getting everyone here is all about, but until then, the people with money behind them are winning the debate. #SocialWeb

@wjmaggos I think this is part of what we want to do, but we have been slow getting started. Who would you think we should talk to?

I linked to the Offline podcast, so the hosts of that: Jon Favreau and Max Fisher (former Obama folks). it's all about complaining about social media but they don't ever talk decentralization.
I'd like Jay and Masnick to have to explain their longterm vision.
All the free speech bros on the right and dissident left. Rogan and Greenwald etc. Fundamentally I agree with them that social media upends money's control over discourse, but they don't seem to know we exist.

@[email protected] I think AP implementors are in a unique position to be able to play the long game.
We have a stable protocol and a broad base of implementors trying many different approaches to realize that protocol. It's a more shotgun approach but one that has the potential to hit a wider audience united under a common, free protocol.
Big names like Ghost signing on are a great sign that the tools that content creators are using are providing support.
There will be a tipping/inflection point.
