    I don’t have a high opinion of this.

    What has Jimmy Wales been doing recently?

    1. Losing a bunch of money creating WikiTribune
    2. Pivoting that failed venture to WT Social. Quote, “However, as of November 7, 2019, Wales stated that he had just learnt about ActivityPub and was looking into it.” It took him four years to get around to it?
    3. Just now taking advantage of us to start yet another social media network. And what does he do first thing? Ask for donations.

    Yeah I’m not going anywhere near there.
