@evan took me a hot minute to understand this one.
Translation, any user can interact with the social media stream via an API, which means you're not locked into the platform's servers or apps or payment systems.
(Is this correct?)
@evan I'm afraid to ask. Who is "they"?
@scottjenson It's a meme making fun of right wing nostalgia. The original had dark conspiratorial overtones -- a spooky unnamed "they" -- but the mocking memes are more silly, with old videogame screenshots or 70s tv commercials for appliances. I saw at least one white supremacist video by searching for the phrase on X, though, so I guess it's still used by right wing creeps, too.
@scottjenson I don't think I want to summon up that vibe, though, even in the form of a common meme. It sounds creepy to people who don't know it. I'm going to change the text.
I changed it to one I like better
@scottjenson @tsyesika talked about the ActivityPub API on stage during her talk at FOSDEM yesterday. It got a lot of applause. We were talking about it at supper later and the feeling around the table was that we should really give it a go.
