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.
@Gargron I haven’t seen this yet but that’s exciting to hear
@poxonus @Gargron My fear is they’d inject ads into the content that they share to the Fediverse, so users of other services like Mastodon instances would have to see that garbage if they follow people who are on Meta’s platform.
