In 2018, when I added ActivityPub support to Micro.blog, I faced a choice: do I fight other “competing” platforms or do I embrace them? In hindsight that decision is obvious. I support anything that makes the web better. Twitter / X migration to Bluesky at scale makes the web better, so I’m for it.
brian schrader @manton A friend of mine calls this the “it sucks less” philosophy.
As long as you can make something suck less than it does now, it’s progress. My engineering profs used to say basically the same thing, but they said it differently.
Simon Woods @sonicrocketman 💯 Progress often feels excruciating in the moment but good work is rarely glorious and always worth it.
