Re: Statement

The statement is co-signed by the following people involved in the specification of ActivityPub and ActivityStreams:

Dmitri Zagidulin (Social CG co-chair) — @dmitri@social.coop <https://social.coop/@dmitri>
Tantek Çelik (Former Social Web Working Group co-chair) — @tantek.com <https://tantek.com/>
James (Former SocialCG co-chair) — jamesg.blog <https://jamesg.blog/> (@jamesg.blog@jamesg.blog <https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://jamesg.blog/>)
Chris Messina (Citizen Agency, creator of ActivityStreams) — @chrismessina.me <https://chrismessina.me/>
Christine Lemmer-Webber (Executive Director of Spritely, ActivityPub co-author/co-editor) — @cwebber <https://social.coop/@cwebber> / https://dustycloud.org <https://dustycloud.org/>
Darius Kazemi (Social Web CG member) — @darius@friend.camp <https://friend.camp/@darius>

(full list here: https://github.com/swicg/general/blob/master/statements/2025-09-05-activitypub-and-atproto-discourse.md#co-signed-by-the-following-community-members )

All the statement says is that we can be respectful towards one another, stop spreading misinformation about each 
other, and instead work together and learn from one another. That _is_ a good thing for the AcitvityPub and the 
entire open social web, in mine, and from what I can tell, their opinions.

You are free to dissent though. So far you're the only voice within the people who work on the specifications that I have heard dissenting, though.

Yours,
Emelia
