Ola's Bhavish Agarwal is on a tirade against linkedin.
People are missing the point. I think the core issue is that linkedin should not delete his comment, even if they dont agree with the contents of it. Bhavish might have a politically incorrect (or correct) take on using pronouns, but either ways its not LinkedIn's job to delete his comment until and unless it runs fouls of government guidelines.
i am of the same opinion tbh. different groups have different politics and, therefore, different ways of dealing with the world. it is ridiculous that most people expect centralised platforms to be able to cater to everyone's needs.
#Bridgy became quietly available for people to test, but as bridged posts started to appear, other people became aware and more people started to test and use the bridge.

Flipboard curators have seen over 100,000 boosts, likes and replies from people across the fediverse since April 11.

I think this is a good thing. Either they are a non-profit in Germany or in the U.S., but their mission stays the same.
People like to make a big fucking deal out of nothing. The new board of directors includes Biz Stone, of Twitter-fame. Just because he’s on the board doesn’t mean that the open source, FEDERATED, project is going to got to shit.
I think people just like to complain. The good thing about the Fediverse is exactly that… federation. You’re NOT stuck on one instance or even one flavor of service to stay in touch with people.
If Mastodon does go to shit, guess what? Check out the other Fediverse projects. Hell, start a WordPress blog and connect it to the fediverse.
I get why people are nervous, but is it necessary? Maybe? I don’t see it though.
