@erincandescent And also completely in alignment, unshockingly, with Erin that "I thought we were going to work on exactly these kinds of problems in the Social Web Working Group but instead we focused on dodging bullets as two camps sniped at each other"
And actually a correction: there were *three camps* in the group: the linked data, activitypub, and indieweb people, and two of three of those (activitypub and linked data) hit convergence but I think the indieweb and linked data sniping is just too embedded for ridiculous personal grudge reasons, cough tantek vs timbl cough). Gosh. That was unnecessary hell. Don't do another SocialWG, anyone who wants to re-charter. Do an ActivityPubWG and focus on solving the problems we have, stay focused.
The Indieweb vs Linked Data sniping things is one of the worst, most absurd fights in the entire standards space. Waste of time, energy, and years of peoples' lives. Certainly took a few off mine.
