Look, u/spez has been very clear about this, he’s not threatening anyone, he is just ensuring we only talk about Rampart. You know for the users.

It's less of a "UK/GreatBritain/British Isles" thing and more of a "You can have gmail/hotmail/outlook/etc and all have 'email'" kind of thing.
All of them are speaking the same language/protocol so they all talk to each other even if they do things differently
Mastodon is probably the most different since it's trying to be Twitter which is a very different "thing" than Reddit.
It’s an open protocol so it’s very much doable.
Those are probably the highest profile examples.
Everything else is way smaller scale, and often more about the tone than even what is being said. There's a general "how dare anyone push back" or a complete failure to understand what life is like (some of this overlaps with the "ok boomer" stuff).
I'd point to:
- Martha Stewart's rant about RTO
- Many many of the "nobody wants to work anymore" rants we've seen
- The tenor of Starbuck's anti-union actions
- The communications I've seen from my (large) company and those at friends' (obviously not going to list which)
It's not like I've been keeping a list but those are what come to mind first.
His open anger has been pretty surprising, I feel like the past year has seen more and more of the owner class going totally masks off with anger when the peasants don’t just get in line to follow orders.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
I think that’s true for mastodon, but I suspect it’s going to be way less true for Reddit
Twitter’s value proposition is roughly “one big giant conversation with everyone” and the federation stuff adds some complexity to that.
Reddit already acted like a federation. There are ui and discoverability issues but they seem very solvable.
I had a candidate actually do that for a similar problem.
They were like 15 classes in to generate fibonacci numbers, it was wild.
