[manton] Writing a blog post with part of the premise that it’s impossible to build a social web platform that is compatible with Mastodon just by reading the W3C specs. Is that fair? I know I’m not the only one who feels like they are reverse-engineering things but wonder if it’s truly possible with specs alone. [snarfed], [aaronpk], and others… Curious if you have thoughts.
