Is the fediverse actually ready for government adoption? And how to promote it as a politician?

It turns out that "critical" here means argumentative, entirely one-sided, and full of spurious objections.

I started reading, and it seems to criticize some Polish proposal, rather than anything substantial?

Like, paraphrasing, "the proposal says it worked well in context A, but that doesn't mean it'll work well in context B". I mean, sure, whatever. But not very juicy.

Maybe there's good points in there, but if they had valid criticism they should have spilled the beans right away. If not I'll keep thinking ensuring digital sovreignity and embracing open web standards are good things.

A petition to the polish government is hardly insubstantial. Just like how the small municipality working on fedi proves to the national government that it can switch, other countries will follow.

I meant that this "critical analysis" didn't seem to offer any substantial critiques of ActivityPub or its use, but merely a bunch of critiques of this petition itself on points that seem not extremely relevant.

It might be interesting for people who are invested in this specific debate, but I outside of that context it doesn't seem to have all that much to add to anything.

Not saying the petition is unsubstantial, I just struggled to find any substance to this critique of it.

This reads like AI slop, the illustrations certainly don’t help. Why are you using debate terms?? None of the claims here are exemplified or argued in any way, ironically given its “criticisms”.

In fairness it does appear to be a literal AI translation from Polish, hence the opaque word “interpellation” in the title.

AI generally writes much better than this. This reads like someone trying to turn half a page of content into a ten page term paper using nothing but a thesaurus and charts. And who hasnt had tried to do that at least once in their life.
