Er why are you conflating “being open” with “being part of the Fediverse”? The Fediverse has no monopoly on that notion, and in fact shaming folks for not wanting to integrate with it is the opposite of open. It’s like saying “BSDs pretend to be open, but they’re not even trying to be compatible with Linux”.

Making a conscious choice about differences is fine. The BSDs and Linux share many things, and not other, on the basis of different goals. They're not different for the sake of being different. The vibe I'm getting from the way AT is different is that they're different for the sake of being different.
