      Before you all fall for the shamless clickbait,

      I used to start and end my day at Ars Technica. For years.

      Has really never been the same since Conde Nast took over. I usually only end up there now when someone links an article from there. Thanks for saving me a click, and I’ll pour one out for what once was…

      I have a feeling that once they start getting into how exactly to implement ActivityPub, they’re going to run into the existing issues, decide it’s not worth the effort, and just quietly not do it.

        100% agree. They were never going to implement it and if they did it would be poorly to the benefit of only them, not the rest of us.
