If Meta is really working on a new ActivityPub-powered social network, I see it as a very positive signal overall--my personal feelings towards Meta notwithstanding. For one, it's validation for our entire ecosystem from the biggest player. It also tells me that they don't see themselves as strong enough to keep users locked inside their walled garden anymore. It means the tide is really turning for interoperable social media, and that's always been the goal.

Embrace, extend, extinguish. THAT's what I worry about. You're presumably old enough to remember this was (and likely is) MSFT's Modus Operandi?

@danmcd @Gargron I don't think EEE works for open source & open standard. Email is dominated by big player but It does not prevent you from using small email providers. Only for-profit company should be worried about EEE.

Disagree. I may use @fastmail for my email (and my family's), but anyone I communicate with on gmail, outlook, etc. has the mail I sent them so I'm still (partially) screwed.

@danmcd @Gargron @fastmail Yes if you don't want any of your message been sent to the big company. However, It's inevitable since a lot of people using products from big company.
