MODERATORS
No I agree. They keep echoing the same worries without actually providing solutions. There was one I read with some interesting ideas, but the vast majority are all doom and gloom.
At this point we all know the same dangers. We all have awareness. Start proposing changes to protect ActivityPub or just step aside please.
It's becoming just noise instead of useful discourse. Yes. I'll probably federate with threads at the beginning until moderation becomes too much to handle myself, then I'll defederate. That might be an hour, it might be a year.
That is a non sequitur. Maybe the doomers are right and AP is simply non-viable in the long run, and the right thing to do is abandon it rather than protect it. That said, I couldn't make much sense of the linked article. I did like the description "51% attack" which I hadn't seen in that context before. It's not exactly accurate but it's a nice metaphor.
