There’s a lot of misinformation in your post. There’s not single pod provider. It does what it states it does. A platform/client needs to build on top of it. It doesn’t hurt to ask questions. It also doesn’t hurt to state that you don’t understand as opposed to making matter of fact statements and be wrong.

There's not a single pod provider

Not for Solid, no. The ActivityPods site, however, features a prominent "Create your pod" button that leads to the mypod.store website. I interpret that as a single provider, but feel free to dudesplain to me how I'm wrong.

Oh, okay. So it's currently a staircase leading nowhere. I see the functionality in that. Thanks again for the valuable "well actually" snark.

I apologise that I didn't provide a notice that I'm not a qualified expert and didn't reach out to the developers before writing a f——ng comment on Lemmy.

You don’t need to be qualified but also not a need to spread false information. That’s weird and Twitter behaviour. You could’ve asked questions. You could’ve said “ I may be wrong…” The project is new. There is a single provider due to that reason alone. Once adopted there will be more providers.

...and that's a more reasonable reaction than leading with "FULL OF MISINFORMATION". Dude, I'm an end user that tried out this project — which encourages signups without any heads up that it's at an early stage and still needs other projects to work — and I shared my honest experience.

If that's not what you wanted to hear, sucks to be you. I was not aware that I was posting to the ActivityPods Developer sub. I can go out in the street and be called an asshole by strangers should I ever want to, but I don't expect that kind of out-of-the-blue tone policing in a community that I'm actively interested in. That, my new friend, is weird Reddit behaviour and not a good look.

I will certainly avoid sharing any perspectives I may have with you going forward. Good day and feel free to block me.
