I believe I have seen this posted before, albeit on a different /c/. Nevertheless, the author states Mastodon being a protocol, and that is not entirely correct. Not sure though whether that matters for his audience.
for those wondering: activitypub is the protocol which mastodon (and lemmy!) uses.
You’re right. I mostly do a search before posting but I probably forgot to do that in this case. Also seeing that renowned journalists making these mistakes that could easily have been avoided with just a little bit of research is worrying.
It’s really refreshing seeing sensible discourse, I find myself doing a double take reading two people respectfully disagree with two very valid points of view.
I still have a feeling that it’s because it’s not mainstream yet, though. Most posts don’t have (relatively) many replies and maybe people feel heard without having to create drama?
