so i understand more work would upset anyone, but do the instance devs start to hate each other over these stuffs? or is it just more playful politics kinda?-
Michael Vogel (heluecht@pirati.ca)'s status on Monday, 11-Sep-2017 07:10:07 UTC Michael Vogel @oxenfree I'm a developer at Friendica. My goal is to connect as many networks as possible. Additionally I'm not a person that starts a fight or who fight just for politics.
Means: I will always try to cooperate with the developers of the other networks. With some this will be more like a friendship, with others this will be more professional. That's just reality. But I won't drop support for some protocol just because of "politics".Hallå Kitteh repeated this. -

Hi, I'm @mmn, maintainer of GNUsocial. I reacted when it was written that "many people on gnusocial are angry" and wish to say that !GNUsocial has only love and appreciation for #Mastodon and #ActivityPub.
I believe cooperation is important for libre software and the federated social web. I believe our plural and diverse community should embrace and encourage contributors and development. Any progress we want to make - regardless of anyone's preferred technology - is impeded by hostility and empowered by friendship.
So I want to say thank @cwebber @gargron et al. for all the hard work you actively put into ActivityPub. It's awesome that so many users get in touch with !fs via open protocols.LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864}, Christmas Personified as a Catgirl and therubackup and 4 others like this. -

I believe in cooperation on the federated social web over hostility. I value the contributions of the whole fediverse, including and especially all the work done on OStatus. Even when we do not agree on a technical direction, we can gain a lot by communicating and trying to solve our common problems together. I hope we can unite the fediverse, and if not, I hope we can always foster constructive dialogue.

Christine Lemmer-Webber (cwebber@octodon.social)'s status on Monday, 11-Sep-2017 15:33:39 UTC Christine Lemmer-Webber BTW, @gargron @mmn and I had talked about making a "joint statement" along these lines a few days ago when hostility between "the federation camps" seemed at its peak.
If the lead dev of GNU Social, the lead dev of Mastodon, and a co-editor of ActivityPub don't want to see open hostility and fighting over this, that should be a good sign to you that this is not a "war" of any kind.
Let's work together, and at the very least, be the best person *we* can in open dialogue. Assume good faith.

As far as I know Mastodon will stop OStatus support with v2.0. Are there any concrete plans from you or any other GNU Social developer to implement the new protocol or do we have to expect that both GNU Social and Mastodon will become incompatible? ☠️ Grumpy Oldman likes this. -

Just whenever most fediverse software also supports AP. -
Björn Schießle (bes@io.schiessle.org)'s status on Monday, 11-Sep-2017 18:57:19 UTC Björn Schießle @lnxw48a1 I read a article a few days ago which mentioned that Mastodon will remove OStatus with Mastodon 2.0. But I can't find the article anymore, so maybe this was wrong. -
Michael Vogel (heluecht@pirati.ca)'s status on Monday, 11-Sep-2017 21:42:10 UTC Michael Vogel @bes I'm the "reverse engineer" technician. Means: When Mastodon is feature complete concerning AP, I will have a look at the implementation and will copy the behaviour.
