minus-squarecabbage@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up95arrow-down1·10 months agoEvan Prodromou is a visionary. I recommend this interview with him on the potential of ActivityPub and the end of walled gardens. Very happy he is all right. And !fuckcars@lemmy.world.
minus-squareHugucinogens@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up60·10 months ago“Prodromou” is a Greek surname, with the rough meaning “the one who walks the road before others”. So him being “a visionary” is fun, lol
