What happened last summer? (I couldn't find anything on it)

View on HN

It did not happen in public, and is not related to any public events.

@dang if possible please stick this reply to the top, @gargron is the author himself (the CEO stepping down)

Which controversial topic did you fail/refuse to crack down on the fediverse?

Why would it be their responsibility to succeed at topics in the fediverse more than it's your responsibility?

So which topics did you fail/refuse to crack down on the fediverse @Maken?

I personally failed to push harder for DIDs so switching servers without losing followers is easier.

A thread with a user that devolved into name calling.

Or the Twitter fight where he encouraged people to DOS the rival.

Or the account takeover CVE and repercussions.

Do you mean dox?

I know we must have some terminally online fediverse users here. One of them must have an idea what he is alluding to.

I'm not entirely sure, I wonder if that is related to the "fight" between fans of ActivityPub and fans of Bluesky AtProto where he was personally involved.

Because both protocols can actually interface together, we had people on both side of the 2 networks talking to each other in the same thread (which is truly impressive when you think about it)
