You can’t really do anything right in this field
I agree with a lot of your points, but this is probably the objectively truest one 🙂

+1 for the GIMP3 excitement, and ×1,000,000 for the YouTube gripe.
Technically the blog author is right. Sure, the social aspects of the web go back to the very first chat rooms, but okay. Let’s set a backstop at web 2.0’s blogs. So what is his point, let’s burn down this new foundation on a technicality before it gets off the ground?
Also technically, “social web” is super imprecise when clearly the organisation is supposed to promote and highlight federated platforms. Sounds like somebody did a super lazy brainstorm without looking up from their belly button to consider this exact fallout.
I have the feeling the same somebody will be on the market for a new domain name pretty soon.
I don’t know what they haven’t linked it
They sort of have, but without a lot of explanation: it’s the self link directly under the “follow us” header. [Edit: in my browser, the link just directs to the main SWF page, because Wordpress’ ActivityPub plugin is still imperfect.] You have to navigate to their contact page to have it formated as a proper ActivityPub address.
Sung to the tune of a certain Dead Kennedys song, as covered by Napalm Death.
To quote Life of Brian,

I don’t have anywhere near your experience, but the key points (customizable, no bloat, good wiki) all scream Arch, as you predicted 🙂
I think we agree on the limited capability of (what is currently passed off as) “artificial intelligence”, yes.
VC = venture capitalism.
That’s a feature, not a bug. Celebrity culture needs to get in the sea.
According to that research mentioned in the article, the answer is yes. The big caveats are
The Great Sellout to Meta.
Is this Great Sellout in the room with us right now? Because Meta did implement an open protocol into Threads, but it has been widely blocked by other ActivityPub instances. That is not a “sellout”.
Sounds like your principles will only lead you off social media, perhaps the internet entirely?
Let’s take that etymology one step further: “fan” comes from “fanatic”, so a stan is a stalker fanatic. Which somehow has become a positive term in some circles.
Need to read up on smoke signals and/or carrier pigeons 🙂
Welp, there goes the [online] neighbourhood! It was nice knowing you all.
I didn’t want to pay for their search engine before, and this garbage sure as hell isn’t going to change my mind.
as we’ve seen, AI tools are trained on garbage
I would like this to be the takeaway lesson that humans are better at history. However, loads of accepted history is also trained on garbage.
I’m not going to pretend I grasp the technological details of either Weird or the Leaf protocol, but the basic concept of superpowering the personal website as identity provider is very attractive — and the passion of your writing is infectious 🙂 I hope to someday reach a lightbulb moment with your work and just implement it on my own site.
Yeah, this news cycle may not be the best for CUPS advocacy 😄
