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.

@dpp @Gargron Nice to know I'm not the only one worried about the "good" intentions of a company like Meta/Facebook xD Zuckerberg showed us MULTIPLE TIMES that he never does something because it's right but only because it plays well toward his end goals/interests.
