He’s called Donkey Kong Jr. because he’s the son of the first Donkey Kong. His name is still Donkey Kong. And this is all the canon of the games. In DK 64, Cranky repeatedly calls DK his grandson and it’s been too long since I’ve played/read them but I’m pretty sure this is all stated in the Donkey Kong Country games and written material for the games.

The donkey kong wer’e all familiar with is the third one. DK 1/Cranky is from Donkey Kong (the one with Jumpman/Mario). DK jr from Donkey Kong Jr. DK III is from Country onwards

If Mozilla open sourced it years ago like they promised, it could be picked up by someone else.

But #1 is predicated on #2. If developers are aware of the risk of EEE, then they won’t try to remain compatible with Meta extensions, which means development of the open AP ecosystem will continue at the same pace.

Yes I read that and explained why I don’t think its relevant. Facebook can’t slow down progress on the fediverse because:

1. progress is already slow. The fediverse has been in development for 15 years and still is a clunky, niche network and likely will always be less polished than large corporate networks.
2. Every developer on the fediverse is aware of the EEE playbook and next to none of them will try to remain compatible with any corporate extensions.

I’ve never really understood the EEE argument here. XMPP was an open proptocol, Google embraced it and attracted users, then extended it and took those users away. But according to this article, Google didn’t extinguish XMPP. It’s still around and serving its niche community.

That’s already the situation the fediverse is in. This is a niche community and there are already existing social media companies that the majority of internet users are on. If Facebook joins the fediverse, it brings billions of new users to the fediverse. If they then leave the fediverse, ActivityPub will still be here and all of us on the real fediverse will still be here, in a niche community. Everyone here has already chosen the fediverse despite it being a clunky, unpolished, niche network. How is EEE a relevant fear for the fediverse?

Could you update the sidebar with the github link and maybe a quick usage instruction?

Users can block those with extensions so the data isn’t as reliable
