minus-squaredismalnow@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-21 year agoMy primary beef with huge pool of new users for the protocol Has to do with the scary-low number of developers working solely on ActivityPub, lemmy, etc - and lack of incentive for more to dive in head first. This is NOT ready for prime time, and I worry that reliance on devs from Zuck’s army will facilitate EEE of the protocol. Slow and steady is better. Pic related.
