@brennan Oof.
As for what we can do: I think some of us should self-host the services we care about. And some of us should write their own implementations. That's what standards are for. Having the first implementation be the only implementation that's used widely is a problem.

@brennan ...if it's the thing that finally allows Aaron the capacity to move forward on some of these improvements, then I'm not sure the community has a right to complain about that?
If that crosses a line for you and means you have to migrate to different tools, that's totally fair enough. Frankly, I applaud anyone who takes that moral stance.
But if we're calling for people to come forward to fork those tools now, I'd ask why we haven't been doing the same for maintenance up to this point 🤷
@brennan (This feels like it came across a little antagonistic, which wasn't really my intent. I should write an actual post on this, but life is not in that shape right now 😅 Apologies if needed)

@brennan A couple of points I feel are just worth remembering: you don't actually need to use any of Aaron's services to be even capital "IW" IndieWeb; and Aaron has provided those services for free for *years*, regularly asking for help in maintenance, and whilst some folks have helped, the most recent releases have implemented several reworks and features that have been requested (without support) for years as well.
I'm not a huge fan of AI. But...
