Yes, this path is simply not #openweb native, and we should talk to people about this unthinking #geekproblem pushing, it is damage. “Trust” is built from open, this is always flow/ conversation and bridge building.

The is nothing wrong with REL, but there are problems with the motivation and social understanding behind the technology, in that it is feeding the need/desire for CONTROL more than it is feeding our social “trust”, on balance we need MUCH more of the second and MUCH less of the first.
Yes, we can play semantic games and pretend that we need more control before we can trust - but this is obviously not true if you think… Our tech/society is broken because we don’t trust each other, building more control is not fixing this problem, so on balance this is obviously the path of the (geek) problem not the solution.
Messy is good, basic CC licences keep the mess in place, they keep our need for CONTROL in check, #KISS empowers us to pick up simple shovels and compost #techshit for growing humane social outcomes. Let’s plant seeds of hope, you are holding the watering can 
On this subject So about permissions, huh? - #3 by silverpill "you can’t infer “interact” permissions at all. anyone who has the id of an object can refer to it.
more generally, activitypub doesn’t even have a concept of “permissions” at al"
