With Meta starting to actually implement ActivityPub, I think it would be a good idea to remind everyone of what they are most likely going to do.

    I don’t see this as a genuine, good faith move from Meta. We’re potential future competition to them. They can’t buy us so I think there going to try to removed up the pace over years and hope we come groveling back. It’s a make or break moment for the protocol against a titan.

      They absolutely CAN buy you though, they can buy individual instance owners. Maybe not the Lynch pins like .World but many others and cheaply.

      It’ll quickly turn into removed storm, and the average casual use will give up and go back to Reddit or move to Threads, which is what they want

      I don’t think they fear the two hundred thousand people using fediverse compared to their hundreds of millions to billions of users.

      We’re as much competition to them as a food truck is a threat to taco bell.
