Thank you for your leadership in this space Gabriel and for explaining a clear path forward in a way that non-techies can understand as well.

Kudos to you for being the first to get me to look at ActivityPub which I'm ashamed to admit I never even heard of before I read your posts on the topic.

Thank you! The fun part really is there's so much to learn! I've had my hands full lately so I've felt a little bad about posting less but I'm hoping to make up for lost time. The start of this year was quite rough on me.

I hope things are well with you!

Yes! Transport neutrality is a must; it is the weak link in all these efforts. Software isn't that difficult, but when your ISP decides you are not a suitable user (pick a reason, any reason), all that wonderful code becomes essentially worthless. I would love to see point-to-point relays of 5-10 km using directional antennas and something akin to super-wifi. It might be unsuitable for streaming video (who cares?), but could transmit a carload of text, and perhaps some images, too.

"Net neutrality becomes less of a policy, and more of a fundamental structure we work to maintain like other utilities." I'm keeping this in mind.
