(2/?) @uriel > what would be my contribution? Asking for precision every time In some cases, you might be able to suggest specific ways to make the spec more precise. Based on your clearly extensive experience with protocol standards. But even pointing out specific places where the spec lacks precision could be way more helpful than you think. Am I right in thinking this @evan@cosocial.ca and @darius@social.tinysubversions.com?=

@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz I get it. English is like AP; the flexibility and extensibility is both a feature and a bug ; ) maybe the next protocol for federation shold name like DezentralisierteSozialnetzwerkserverföderierungsübertragungsprotokoll, DSSFÜP for make it easy and clear. Diagnosed autistic here, can relate : ) sorry to read that. Why people thinks this is funny or cool?
