xkcd 927 has done a lot of harm, same with the term NIH (not invented here)

just because something exists, doesn't mean you shouldn't make your own version of it; your own twist on it

the term "fragmentation" is dumb, we need more stuff, not less. we need as many independent implementations and standards as possible. monocultures suck

@lumi it depends. standardization is good sometimes. please do not make yet another incompatible and legally questionable license just because you didn't write any of the existing ones, for example. also, standardization on USB-C is mostly a good thing and ISO 8601 is a good date format (please don't start inventing your own and using YDYD-MM-YY or something stupid like that)

for communication protocols standardization is also a good thing, the fediverse would not work if every implementation had created its own protocol instead of using activitypub

@noisytoot yeah it definitely depends, though i do feel there it is better for people to make lots of stuff and then see what ends up being used

@lumi @noisytoot I don't know. Sometimes? Sometimes not? I'd definitely agree that it should always be possible for people to do so, on many layers; it should be accessible to do this. And of course anyone can tinker on whatever they like. That's most definitely great not just for oneself, but for the larger community as well. But on a bigger, coarser level, I think we ought to work together more closely again
