ActivityPub based platforms chug slowly and/or just don’t load feeds at all.

I don't have this issue. Maybe it's your internet connection or you're just lying.

As for why they’re waiting, they’re waiting on public release because they’re in active development. They are working with a number of independent devs. This is all explained in the ATP documentation.

Yeah, this sounds like bullshit to placate people like you / what you're told to tell others. This is not a legitimate reason to wait for a public release. Hopefully anyone reading this can judge for themselves.

As for why you should trust them, the question is trust them with what?

Trust them with "opening up the other services to federation as they reach maturity." Why are you ignoring this part and supplementing your own? I assume it's because you don't have a legitimate answer and you're trying to derail and distract.

Of course, you try to send me off and say "just read this, bro. It's all explained here." No. I'm here to scrutinize your support for this centralized, private platform.

Right now, your reasons for supporting it are incorrect at best and malicious at worst.

Everyone reading this: be careful of viral marketing. It's cheaper and more effective for these businesses to advertise their product by having people argue for it like this guy right here than it is to buy an ad on TV or something.
