It's fine for developers to champion their own protocol and software, obviously you should be. But for the rest of us, it's much better to just be an advocate of #BringDownTheWalls & #BuildBridges / #BuildBridgesNotWalls. It's fine to have favourites, but try to avoid #ProtocolWars / #NetworkWars.
Let your family & friends decide on their own capacity to choose independently which protocol, software, platform, they want to use and be in. As long as it's one of these #DDFON: #TheFederation ( #diaspora), the #Fediverse ( #ActivityPub), The #ATmosphere ( #ATproto), or #NOSTRich ( #Nostr). 😝
#DDFON = Decentralized, Distributed, Federated, Open Network. Aside from the above mentioned ones, in the Instant Messenger space we have #Jabber ( #XMPP) and #Matrix (Matrix) as well. Did I miss any? #BringDownTheWalls #BuildBridges #BuildBridgesNotWalls #SocialWeb #Web3
