@deadsuperhero Just because you disagree with some things, and you've been here from the start, doesn't mean someone doesn't know what they're talking about. And even if that would be the case, it's an unnecessary insult that makes the recipients of the counterarguments less receptive to whatever is being laid out below.
So if it's in good faith, then I think that's just a poor choice of title. Only wanted to point that out. Feel free to ignore it.
@NettoHikari Says a person who does unpaid work for Condé Nast? In order to prove the same point again? Cool.
@deadsuperhero Why the ad hominem in the title? Completely unnecessary, and actually proving his point about pettiness.
@The_KamikaZEN @osma @fediverse If e.g. Komoot and Ride with GPS would collaborate on becoming interoperable for let's say sharing, liking, and comments, they might sway some users away from Strava with the promise of being more open. But tbh, the amount of users migrating would probably still be small, and Strava absolutely rules that industry by network effect.
It's a lot of investment from whoever implements AP, and not much to gain. I think this has to start in the opensource community.
@Wave This was basically describing why the #LightningNetwork exists and how it works. Until it fell off a cliff entirely with the idea of using stablecoins, which are literally the opposite of peer to peer money.
If you want something with completely p2p, private, and offline sending/receiving, where the token trust is centralized, then just use Cashu or Fedimint, where anyone can run a mint, and you can still send to everyone else via Lightning. *That* is fully p2p.
