other co-author have a very different way to handle criticism. some are really clear about the limitation of the protocol, even stating that it was not ready to be adopted by mastodon.
the issue with evan p. for me is that he's being really vocal, try to be a public figure, attract a lot of followers by design, but blocks anyone with a divergent point of view. that's his prerogative of course, but you can't pretend to be public figure and censure any criticism.
the discussion around activitypub is really interesting, and yes the protocol is far from perfect. how can we get there if the main goal is just to push its name and not design a better and efficient decentralised network? (I don't care about the protocol being used. If we are to build a new way of designing social network, we need to build it on a good code, and create new soft to interact, not just copy of the gafam products.)
to be clear, evan p. blocked me after I asked him (we were mutual on mastodon) if the co-authors thought about the efficiency of the protocol when designing it. he answers me "No." and blocked me, because this was a subject that he would rather not think about (server load / electrical consumption / efficiency / reducing our impact).
I can't stand this attitude. I've read him lecturing some of his followers when talking about the impact of our way of living. But when the subject was close to him personally it was not ok. This is hypocritical and led me to see him as a total narcissist.
I don't do narcissist. They are a total waste of time.
Even processed vegan foods are better for the planet than animal-based ones, study confirms
It's not just plant-based whole foods that are better for the environment than meat and dairy - even processed vegan foods are better. #vegan

yes, on Mastodon when a user block an instance, it's more like a mute than a block. Your posts will still be available to them, but you won't see their content.
The only solution if you want to protect your content from being shared on an instance is to block it at the instance level AND that the instance use Authorised Fetch.
Not all instances have this feature on.
Oh no this would be a waste of your time I’m afraid I’m not a researcher in this field but follow the work of some. Unfortunately they are not active around here so I can’t even tag them.
You seems pretty articulate tho. Can I ask for your credentials?
I am cute and hope that you feel so too.

IPCC reports are on their website.
Still not worth it regarding the outcome if not for the dollar generated for the few.
We need to stop destroying our resources.
Please go read some papers on the subject.
it's not because a product is not made in a industrial fashion that it's de facto good, sustainable or eco friendly. it's like calling natural stuff better than chemical stuff. it's just a common bias.
you can't get meat without giving a lot of proteins to an animal. at the end if you end up eating this protein instead of giving it to the animal to grow tissue you always will win in efficiency.
some will argue that we can't eat grass. that's right we can't. but with all things considered if we eat proteins from plants we can digest, the balance will always be positive, regarding CO2 emissions, natural ressources being wasted like soil and water, and naturally the cruelty.
some will argue that prairies are stocking CO2. yes they are, but the cattle growing on them will produce more.
some will argue that eating soy will give you boobs. I'm sorry but it won't. too bad if it's boobs you were looking for.
etc etc. the scientific literature is quite explicit on this matter. all that I know is that if we decided to switch to a total plant based alimentation right now, we would need a period of transition were cattle or fishing will still be needed in some specific countries with specific ecosystem.
