I checked out your website so will try to engage with this, though likely this should happen on another thread, feel free to move this.
This is messy:
The “Fediverse” as has been built has been completely focused on AP since it rebooted (and it needed this reboot) with Mastodon moving to AP - this is no current “Fediverse” without this.
On fighting over definitions - this is kinda pointless, and mostly reactionary, the path we have been on is a “disorganisation” with mythos and traditions, the one solid thing is badly implemented AP the rest is a loose native openweb path you can’t define this neatly.
Yes, this is changing over the last year, and it’s important to engage with this change.
This is an issue, but it’s not central as the projects are #4opens #DIY so if you can hold your noise on the “techo-libertarian guys” the only block is basic technical skills and community building, thus this is a perfect tool for the #fluffy side of a #BPP reboot which does need to happen.
This is a smell of this, but it’s few people and mostly new #NGO types, remember this thing has been built with almost no money or power so nothing for f***ts to use to hold onto “power”. But yes there are a few, but the same, they are actually not too bad on balance, though as you say is likely to change.
This is insider language, so no idea what it means
This is a #4opens native openweb project if you look you will find the worst people, the secret is not to look, then block freely if they find you. The community side is #DIY so works if you get a supporting network, a chicken-and-egg social problem.
If you are interested in activism then build a community BEFORE looking for the nasty people, block hard till you have a community in place. There are no digital drugs, you find on the #dotcons, that most people are addicted to, so getting people to stay, when it turns messy is harder than people expect.
