  • You don’t have to wonder, the spell it out on their website:

    We are not a political organization. We don’t stand for, represent, or align ourselves with any political party.

    Still, I think campaigning against specific policy would meet the average person’s definition of political organisation.

    Kinda like if the King would say climate change is bad, it’s political but it doesn’t really compromise his position as apolitical

    Maybe when all the (major) parties agreed that climate change was real you could argue this, but now both Reform and the Tories are both doing climate change denial I don’t think you can. Besides, the idea that the monarch is apolitical when it uses its privileged position within the British state to lobby for the monarch’s personal interest against things like workers’ rights and, ironically enough, climate laws is plainly absurd.








  • Can’t wait for the follow up post decrying PeerTube for only allowing videos, or Bookwrym for only allowing book reviews. Just because it’s ActivityPub doesn’t mean it has to be a Twitter timeline.

    Once a major actor in a decentralised network starts to mess with the protocol, there are only two possible output: either that actor lose steam or that actor becomes dominant enough to impose its own vision of the protocol. In fact, there’s a third option: the whole protocol becomes irrelevant because nobody trust it anymore.

    You mean like Mastodon? Where’s the angry diatribe about Mastodon not allowing posts to have more than 4 pictures despite other platforms allowing more (Pixelfed allows up to 20 for example)?
