App-centrism is a re-centralization force in the #ActivityPub fediverse.
For the #fediverse the accepted app-centric #SocialNetwork work method is a decentralized NPM-like dependency hell waiting to happen.
Apps that introduce extensions become owners of parts of the specs when they become de-facto standards. We can only hope for responsible #ownership, and that the project stays around to keep their #design docs and code in the air.
The #FEP and the #SocialCG are two points of #centralization we find acceptable to help mitigate protocol decay and tech debt. It is not ideal, but a bandaid to keep an utterly fragmented developer ecosystem together.
The people who do most of this holding together are volunteers that can be counted on one hand. They may burnout and leave any day, in typical #FOSS fashion.
#SX investigates the concept of #GrassrootsOpenStandards, where the standardization process matches social dynamics that exist in our #commons.
