So, open message: if you're from #Meta and you are working on this #P92 service, you should contact the #W3C #SocialCG to work on compatibility with #ActivityPub.
We're excited about your project and we're here to help.
@evan wow. He sounds like a decent person but he sure does work for a bad company.

For one, donating to various "competing" projects and servers. For two, not going ahead and breaking people's interactions and instead going through the standards process; large entities need to be slower moving and more stable; leave rapid development to smaller entities. Third, SIGNIFICANTLY better moderation than they have.
@evan Marketing this thing with contributions from other Fedi platforms would be nice too; I think they can win enough new users with "you can join any of the thousands of Mastodon or (another software, perhaps at random) servers, or? You can join Threads, and follow your friends from there."
Number five would be putting maximum privacy and minimum data processing on non-Threads content, considering we do not, have not, and will not agree to their ToS or policy.
@blake Why are you sending this to me?
@evan Mostly publishing thoughts. It's a reply to the post.
Would you rather me barge into a mailing-list I have no place in?
@blake no, that's fine. I just didn't want to give the impression that I was volunteering to convey your thoughts to Ben.
@blake I've sent a reply there with some suggestions, let's see if it arrives to the archives as well. The list description says anyone can post, they can always direct people to some other place for more freewheeling discussion if necessary.
