This has been a nourishing discussion. Do they have those on blsky too? On this topic I find their account and one feed and it's mostly just loudspeaker-bluuts (or however these are called).

Briefly considering to use their website for that . Kidding. Ok my takeaway from @mayintoronto is that it's not a zero sum-game. Sit back, watch, learn. But I am dying to read @pluralistic 's take on that, because I know he totally gets impact of tech. protocol on socio-economics.

Ok, what I don't get is this: Why can't FOF do exactly that, even with the same stated goal, but propose to push a technology with much better chances of getting there?

All that plus what could be achieved if these funds were spent for UX / onboarding / new apps in Activity Pub space. You could try to kickstart small viable businesses for related services. You could sell a Pi-based, preconfiguerd box that you just plug in to run your own instance...

I don't think this is about interoperability. Also I don't think we need to "prove" something here - it's all very transparent. Including the fact that ATProto isn't and can't be decentralized with all the ramifications this has for "billionaire-proofing". I get large part of the info for my judgement from Christine Lemmer-Webber: https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/

It's just that it feels bad to see all that voluntary work and potentially large donations, based on really good intentions and directed towards a super topical goal, being pissed away because of a flawed understanding about what it takes to make a socio-technical system "billionaire-proof". #freeourfeeds
