@stefan Everyone's version of toxic and unwelcoming seems to be different, so they join tribes where they can be toxic and unwelcoming to anyone they view as toxic and unwelcoming. One would wish everyone could just get along, but history seems to point to that being a chapter yet to be written.
@jdp23 @noracodes I guess? Like, sure, deciding whether you should move some data, and to where, and whether to accept it, are very much not trivial. But people do routinely choose to do that. So that feels like a very peripheral concern
@julian @evan I think it's a great perk of ATProto. Once you shipped your app and have seen some success, then you can start thinking about making it resilient by removing dependencies. Right now, it looks to me like this model is superior to foster an ecosystem.
@wjmaggos@liberal.city I think that thinking of "anything" being boostable is both weird and expected at the same time. We hold these thoughts in our heads concurrently because it was how the web-at-large (indieweb notwithstanding) worked.
What I mean is...
A news article isn't a discrete resource shared on a common social web — such a construct does not exist outside of the Fediverse.
... but news articles are littered with "share via..." buttons that sort of approximate the experience.
