#2End of an era.
I like that he sees that ActivityPub should be so much more than Mastodon. "a truly universal timeline" of various things on the internet.
For that to happen we can't limit ourselves to just Mastodon, but start building alternative takes.
Yes, some aren't viewable on other clients, but that's fine, then they just show a link, but at least you can reply/reblog/like items.

#3This is a moving post, I wish Craig and everyone else effected by these events the best, onwards and upwards!
If these people who pioneered the use of Twitter and fundamentally steered how it developed through their community contributions turn their experience to Mastodon and the Fediverse, big things will come.
From the ashes of one thing can be built the future.

Well yeah, his life's work was destroyed at someone's whim with the flick of a switch.
How many people would be gracious? Why should anyone be?

#10I never relied on Twitter's API, since building stuff with it is akin to building your castle on other people's land. You're always going to be a tenant, and the API gatekeepers play landlord and can rugpull you without notice.
But I'm looking into Nostr[0] as an alternative, aswell as ActivityPub which seems to be working well these days.
Dorsey's Bluesky Social[1] looks promising too, but it's a very late move since Twitter should have been a protocol from the outset.
