So what do you make of this comment in the linked thread with statements like "BlueSky wanted to go for a more semi-centralized consortium of businesses"... "At a technical level, nothing would have prevented them from proposing some small patches to ActivityPub".

Remove any of the above 5 & I'm not sure I would be where I am... & I haven't completely landed yet. Time will tell.

That said, it's been immensely rewarding. Now able to pin a paper to each topic in this graphic (made 2 long yrs ago!) gives me a great sense of accomplishment!

Woah Woah woah. I'm just here for rational spheres of discourse, Ben Recht. There's a not-insignificant # of scientists that manage to survive without a killer instinct. Maybe anticorrelated with top R1 unis. It's not so bad if you come down to where the rest of us are. You're generalizing poorly ;)
