Actually, the SocialHub was created with people in presence at the first APConf held in Prague, as a way to keep track of discussion outside of the volatile Fediverse and without cluttering the SocialCG mailing-list with Activitypub-only contents. The fact it was outside the Fediverse was a conscious decision, and something many people not present at the discussion resented. But since, this forum also became a part of the Fediverse, which only makes it more legitimate, since other initiatives (who never consulted either) came and go. Here we took a slow path to be able to integrate and respect diversity: everything that was accomplished here was collective, and everything that stalled was because of a lack of collective (e.g., the DNS blockade or the lack of integration with Github issues).
