They've not taken the sub private but they have now put up a post supporting the protest and turning off all posting and commented. A bit half hearted maybe but better than nothing.
The Meta Plan:
- We're going to use ActivityPub because we love the Fediverse!!!
- Now we're live, here's some improvements to AP, now they're not standard but we're working closely with the AP guys. It would help if you all pleaded with them to accept these changes- they're just to make things better!
- Yay! All the changes were implemented and we've formed the AP Council, we might invite some of the old AP guys to it.
'Better' is relative. To me its better because no one person or group owns or controls the software. There's no central authority. Don't like the instance you're on? Just move to another. Cant find an instance you like? Host your own. Don't like the path the developers are taking? Fork the code. As long as the very core remains standard (ActivityPub), all possibilities are on.
There needs to be a return to being patient. Most fedi software is not beyond beta yet. They will develop and they will mature but right now the fediverse is a toddler learning to walk. There are issues but with time they'll get addressed. We've all got so addicted to shiny cool apps and services we've become prepared to sacrifice our privacy, our choices and our reason at the altar of a quick dopamine hit.
There's no big money to throw at these issues and therefore no dedicated team. This means solutions come slower. But they will come and they will be motivated by usefulness not profit. The people developing these things have lives and day jobs. Give them time.
