    Basically, yes. EEE is a strategy developed by a dominant company whose revenue stream came from paid proprietary software and services but which embraced open standards with the goal of vanquishing the threat to their business model posed by that openness and maintaining/recovering their proprietary domination.

    Does ActivityPub being open and used by many different projects & organizations pose a threat to Piefed’s business model? Is Piefed a powerful company that built that power on a proprietary model and seeks to preserve that power by embracing, extending, and extinguishing ActivityPub? With the goal of maintaining/recovering proprietary domination?

    No. So it ain’t EEE.

    Ah, to let white supremacists proceed with dismantling democracy and human rights without interference from ‘wokes’ in the federal government?

    However, in the former Confederate States, many paramilitary groups sought to suppress, often through intimidation and violence, African-American political power and return the South to rule by the predominantly white Democratic Party. Although African Americans were initially supported by the federal government, as Reconstruction went on, that support waned.[2] Following the bitterly disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election and Compromise of 1877, Congressmen and Senators from the former Confederate States returned to Washington and prioritized prohibiting the federal government from reimposing control over their states.

    Yep.

    Thanks for the info.

    In the meantime, I opened a new tab, input my instance, waited for the home page to load, searched for ‘elena rossini’, compared the top two results (her channels?), went with one, looked at its list of videos and saw that it didn’t include the video in question, went back, chose the other account and discovered it has zero videos.

    ???

    Saw your reply, tried new search: “Introducing the Fediverse”… 471 results with hers not visible among the top results. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

    Looked again at your reply, copied that video link that you originally gave and searched… and it works! (Although… how did you get it? I can’t see it anywhere else.) Finally I can upvote it. Sheesh!

    Also, tried searching for “fedifuture@videos.elenarossini.com”

    • a search term that I think you can only find if you have already found the video? Catch-22?
    • finds the right channel (which is neither of the ones found in my original search)… but no videos… not even the one it just found when searching for that URL. Same when I’m on the page of the video on my instance ( https://peertube.wtf/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN ) and click on its channel name… no videos.

    ???

    So, there’s a chance of me being able to eventually interact with the video… if someone else somehow finds an underlying URL and helpfully gives it to me and I then copy and paste it into my instance’s search bar.

    Meanwhile with content on every non-fediverse social network, it just takes one click to reach and interact with it (comment, upvote etc).

    A social network system that breaks the basic building block of the web, the link, seems to be shooting itself in the foot. I hope the fediverse comes up with a much more user-friendly solution soon.
