Given that today is #Thanksgiving in the US, I want to take some time to thank some of the people I appreciate here on the fediverse.
I’ll add more to the thread throughout the day, in no particular order.
@GeePawHill Thank you, for the constant reminders that it’s cool to thank people who matter to you. In these hard times more than ever, thank you for that. It matters.

@cwebber and @evan Thank you for ActivityPub! I can only
Imagine how hard you worked to make it happen, but you did it.
It gives me hope for our technological future, that people like you are working to advance our fabric of open, interconnected, standards.

@mekkaokereke @StillIRise1963 You both force me to face some really uncomfortable stuff about the industry I work in, and the country I live in.
Your posts sometimes make me angry, they make me uncomfortable.
Thank you for that, I need that. We need that if we’re ever going to learn to be better towards each other.
Please don’t ever stop.

@are0h Man. I don’t always get you, but I know you work tirelessly at making the fediverse better for people who aren’t like me.
Thank you for that. I’m sure those people need a champion like you, let’s be real, people like me probably aren’t picking up the baton and doing the work.
But you are, thank you.

@ben Thank you for working hard to make journalism better. In a world where so many of us have given up on the field as a whole, you haven’t stopped pushing forward.
I hope so dearly that we may live in a world of more reputable, honest, and informative news in the future.

@ludicity Thank you! For taking an honest stand against the everspewing bullshit that is the AI gravy train.
It was starting to feel a little claustrophobic working in the technology industry, until your post showed me that I am not alone with my distaste for the GenAI stuff. Thank you for that!

@J12t Thank you for your work on @feditest! I’m so excited to get a chance to use it when I get back to hacking on my own fedi tools. Having something like FediTest is such a great improvement to some of the fundamental issues of building on standards based protocols.

@sundogplanets Thank you, for doing everything in your power to preserve the night sky for my little boy, and all of our future generations to come.
You’re fighting an uphill battle against billionaires, not something I would wish upon anyone. But you’re giving it your best shot! And for that I am more grateful than I could ever express here.
Thank you Professor!

@siracusa @caseyliss @marcoarment Thank you gents, for keeping me entertained and giving me a sense of connection. Working from home has many perks, but not getting to chat as much about the technology I love is certainly one of the downsides.
Your recordings help satisfy that need for a sense of “technology camaraderie”, and I appreciate all three of you for it.

Although she’s not on the fediverse: Thank you, to my mother. Holy fuck thank her so much.
She raised me and my younger brother, without my dad being particularly helpful, without having any particularly large source of money, without even being a citizen of the country she lived in, whilst my brother was extra hard because of his Down syndrome, whilst I was, as children are, a difficult shithead.
It took me years to appreciate just how precarious that situation was for her. I couldn’t do it.
