The last time Facebook embraced an open federated standard they did it for precisely long enough to saturate server-to-server contacts between an already existing userbase and their stuff, then shut off that federation and told anyone cut off by it to just come to Facebook instead.
This is literally something they did. This is in their playbook.
The people running the stuff behind the scenes were blindsided by it; it was an executive decision. Those people wanted to build the thing in good faith and the Business Plan was to let them until the time was right to strike.
That we're again going "It seems to be done right, let's give them a chance" is a little infuriating considering I was pretty impacted by the fallout of the last time.

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that weapons, violence and gore can be shown and discussed freely basically anywhere, but god forbid you see a nipple or merely discuss the concept of sex

"I was given some advice before making it into Parliament - to not take anything personally or it'll eat you up."
"In only a couple of weeks, in only 14 days, this Government has attacked my whole world from every corner."
"Health, taiao (environment), wai (water), whenua (land), natural resources, Māori wards, reo, tamariki. How can I not take anything personally when it feels like these policies were made about me?"
"I am not fearful of this place, or this debating chamber."
"I was perfectly fine growing my kūmara and learning maramataka (Māori lunar calendar), but this House kept tampering with things they shouldn't be touching, and that's why I left the māra (garden) to come here."

@Rairii it's so weird watching obscenely rich people compete to do something others have already done for free with no money

what is especially frustrating is that we literally, across languages and cultures, have this saying that the least trustworthy people are politicians
so why do people just regurgitate politicians' words like they're fact!?
Sven Slootweg (soft-deprecated)

the place where this becomes extra relevant is in things like press releases, where people take folks' words for things way more often since there's this inherent trust to something being said in person, which, does not actually exist
it often manifests in this sort of "clearly the (president/politician/corporate executive) wouldn't tell an obvious lie" and uh,
yes, they would actually, and rather often too

honestly the biggest failing of modern society is convincing people that the internet is where people lie
people lie in real life, actually. and way more often, since on the internet there are way more people to see and scrutinise your words

re: subtooty grumbling
Like, "is it worth the overhead to do community governance for this project" is a legitimate point of discussion, but also when that discussion *has already been had and concluded* years ago, and you don't even make an attempt to improve the governance process...
subtooty grumbling
"Community governance costs energy, so let's just make top-down decisions instead!"
I swear to $deity...

OpenCola reminds me of the work I did making my own Club Mate clone, including a delicious sugar free Club Mate clone.
The one thing I never cracked was Club Mate Winter Edition.
Maybe this is worth turning into a project?
