an interesting thread on Bluesky about why people are choosing to build on #ATProto instead of #ActivityPub

@liaizon@social.wake.st I am disappointed but not at all surprised that a couple respondents develop on ATProto because of hazing and perceived unwelcome atmosphere on the fediverse in general.
Those kinds of people (the ones who gatekeep and haze) are why we can't have nice things.
Instead of an environment where I can build and feel comfort in the protocol's technical merit, I am instead frustrated by another protocol's success. Juvenile, I know.
I refuse to further platform those people.

3@julian you don't want to platform people who are unwelcoming to devs? I think the issue is that a lot of the devs who show up are also totally oblivious to how their stuff effects the network and people who use it and the implications of their code on peoples lives. So I don't think it's as easy as just us being more welcoming to builders either sadly
