@jdp23 @laurenshof @renchap re blog post, I think given the socialhub discussion and this thread, I've learned that no matter how mindful I thought we had been, there is still more work to do to clarify and demonstrate that we're listening and learning (and working with others).
I think its not so much a matter of being as careful and mindful as possible (while thats obviously a great thing to do), but that fedi is lacking the political layer for diplomacy between different fediverse platforms. 'Listening and Learning' is a framing between a platform and its end-users. But what I think is going wrong here is not seeing other platforms as equal partners that need to be negotiated with
@laurenshof This is indeed a big "issue" (is it really an issue? idk) as there is no formal diplomacy process. We (Mastodon) do not plan to solve this issue for everyone, but we have established some (closed) places to have discussions with other implementors. Our FEP draft was shared & commented on those places for several weeks/months before being made public.
