Recently there has been a lot of discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol which has been quite dividing and heated.

Yesterday at the Social Web CG meeting (the group that maintains the ActivityPub and related specifications), I proposed releasing a statement that counters the narrative that one of these protocols must win, when both protocols can co-exist and have a lot to learn from each other.

The statement has been co-signed by various members of both Social Web CG, SocialCG, and the AT Protocol community.

“We do not win by tearing each other down, which only emboldens and empowers those who do not want either protocol to succeed.”

“Arguing between us only emboldens those that seek to derail and destroy efforts to build an open social web.”

You can read the full statement here:

This was originally in the swicg/general repository, and you can learn about that here:

Foreword This statement was originally published on the swicg/general repository after I had been granted approval to merge.

I need you to understand something.

And the thing I need you to understand is that librarians like these are heroes. They've been slandered. They've been libeled. They've been threatened. And they've been put in harm's way. They've been labeled as suspects for crimes they never committed. And they've received death threats from their communities.

And they keep fighting. They keep fighting so you can read and view whatever you want without fear and without censorship.

I'm giving a talk this morning at TU Dublin for Visual Artists Ireland's annual 'Get Together'. The event is for artists and arts workers.

They gave me the working title 'Grassroots Technologies', and I decided to stick with that name, though I might end up talking more about roots than tech. More radicle, less radical.

Whenever people talk about embedding alt text into images, I remember that lots of gif search services already try to do that.

Here's BlueSky's gif service. I searched for some popular memes. Each had alt-text baked in.

Take a look and tell me if you think that the embedded text conveys the sentiment of the image? If you couldn't see the animation, would you understand what was going on from that alt?
