@maegul@ActiveCultures What it really is, if you don’t mind me saying, is that I’ve become accustomed to how things work here, and I’m willing to adjust to make stuff as easy to grok.
Generally, I try to discover how systems work, and how I can benefit from them.
@maegul@ActiveCultures Largely, I don’t think this or that platform matters. The real point is ActivityPub (e.g., “the kernel”, in your analogy), and every other protocol that makes this happen.
It doesn’t matter if someone doesn’t like Mastodon because there’s probably something else that utilizes ActivityPub that will be preferable to them.
Or maybe not ActivityPub. Maybe Zot or AT instead.
How does anyone not get excited about the Fediverse when they discover they can embed a search engine - with pre-populated search terms -- into a status update?
@husku I can think of many reasons I might want to do something like this. For example, encouraging someone to go find out stuff for themselves (e.g., LMGTFY).
