Right, sort of the way OpenAI started out as open, but is what it is now.

Setting that aside however, back on the original point, somebody just posted an incredibly insightful comparison of AP and AT protocols thru the lens of #blacksky's implementation and experience.

https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/116093828508593154

Having an understanding of both approaches (appview, vs network-of-dominions) certainly surfaces how much I know about tech, and how little I know about community building.

Therein lies the misunderstanding.

people's DATA is more important than platform or protocol.

In fact, ATProto is a decentralized-centralized protocol. So even if you set up your own servers, the *data* goes through bluesky. That's how it's made. They didn't take "A different approach" than ActivityPub, they came late, and are still trying to reach parity.

ActivityPub is a non-cenatralized federated protocol.

They are not the same. Billionaires fund BlueSky. Fedi is up to us.

I know who doesn't own BlueSky. Its users and communities.

Kudos to the #MiamiHerald journalist who happened to capture the video, but the most chilling sentence In the narrators exposition is almost glossed over, so I emphasize it here,

*****"The Miami Herald said they could not locate the woman after this video was taken"*****

Yeah, along the same lines. Like the old saying goes; I('d) envision Health Care, Prisons, and Education to all be public run, and paid for by the taxes of the rich. Largely because they map to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

I'd imagine "unemployment" meaning; if you don't need some kind of medical/mental support, you're going back to university, to continue learning until you're inspired or bored enough to set out on your own (or join another) enterprise.

- oils

- medicines (other than CBD)

the risk calculus is done with the quadratic empathy formula.

a> are you in a forest, with no one around and you come across a strange man or a bear? not enough information, running's probably a good idea,

b> are you in a city/suburb/human area? and you need directions and there are many people who seem like they're just normal people doing people things? Sure, take your chances, you probably won't get mauled.

I mean.. it's somewhere between A or B.. none of this is really binary.

I'm not exactly neurotypical myself, thanks for assuming, however..

I'm sorry your particular neuro-divergence doesn't lend itself to empathy, because not understanding why people would approach strange men and not strange bears is easier when,

a) you don't assume it's a literal analogy, no right minded person approaches a bear for any reason, and

b) it is indeed a question of empathy, large horny men without it should be avoided much like bears, when you are a slighter female..

Not because I think you need more homework (who ever I think I am), but because #fedi is *not the same* as the places you are leaving, and is much bigger than one might imagine. Also it's a fascinating explanation that's holding up really well.
