I only partially understand the fear of EEE. Sure the Fediverse may be easy to enter for any megacorps but that doesn’t mean they get a say in how the protocols work. The people working on those are (mostly?) idealists, I’d assume. They aren’t easily persuaded by a panel of megacorp suits demanding the protocol to change and would just give them the finger. Entering the Fediverse is not the “embrace” step that buying a company would normally be. Applying EEE to the Fediverse sounds like fud to be perfectly frank.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what EEE would entail in the context of the Fediverse. I haven’t seen anyone talk about how it would work in these two posts. This topic is new to me.

Strange blog. Kind of ironic allowing only paid users to comment on a blog talking about the Fediverse.

I understand that commercial interests can be intertwined with federation and open source, there’s nothing wrong with that (in principle). Asking for payment just to be able to comment is something else though. Donate now to discuss the future of open web standards!
