Wow, nice painting 👌
Though, Meta is imo more like a leech :)) Fediverse will be immortal since it's libre belief and made for users not money.

For a hot second i thought it is the Grim-reaper from Discworld and thought: Hell yes!
Only then did i realize the signs around his neck...but now i cannot unsee my beloved Grim Reaper who would be actually more fun for the Fediverse when joining.
HELLO FEDIVERSERSE. HOW DOES ONE WORK HERE?
Fediverse: "What is this voice and where does it come from?"
IT IS ONLY IN YOUR HEAD.
Fediverse: "Wait, how does that work? Death uses ActivityPup?"
WHAT IS ACTIVITY PUP?
@v_d_richards Haha, thank you for getting the ref to the Discworld! 🐢 👍

Alyssa Voronin@davidrevoy Am I misunderstanding the scale of the potential problem?
Like, Facebook can set up their own instance, and then.....? I know that they want money and data (to sell for money), but does making their own instance give them access to data on other instances that isn't already public? Is the concern that a huge Facebook instance sucks up all the oxygen and new users who'd otherwise go elsewhere?
I feel like the naive noob in the room.
Andres Jalinton@TranshumanBlues @davidrevoy
Think about what Google did to email. SMTP is an open protocol like ActivityPub.
Now think about what Google did to XMPP, also an open protocol.
I bet your answer is "I don't know anything about SMTP or XMPP" and that's the problem, big companies "adopt the protocol" then after getting all the users onboard, they deprecate the open protocol using private APIs instead.

People just submitted it. I don't know why. They "trust me". Dumb fucks.
How Cambridge Analytica Exploited the Facebook Data of Millions | NYT
@TranshumanBlues @davidrevoy In short, facebook has repeatedly shown an utter disregard for not only privacy and ethics, but even human life and the rights of minorities, including LGBT groups.
There is ZERO guarantee that Facebook won't scrap our data to train AIs, sell our metadata to the highest bidder or to third parties so they can create massive disinformation campaigns for government and corporations.
We cannot trust them, because they've ALREADY done all the items on that list. Except maybe the AI training. Just maybe.
And then there's the ever present risk of embrace-and-extend.
@TranshumanBlues So it's not the risk that someone will take that data. Facebook will take it, process it and package it ready for consumption.
For a comparison, let's say the data is Uranium. One could say: Oh hey, this is dangerous, we better keep that safe. Mark Zuckerberg sees it, calls the kremlin, and says: Oh hey, we found some uranium ore in there. Pay us and we'll enrich it and build a nuclear warhead for you.
Shine@TranshumanBlues @davidrevoy They can (and will) use posts federated with them to train AI. They can use those data to target ads. Both are behaviors unwanted by plenty of instances. They can start extending protocol in a way incompatible with the rest, lure users to them with more power than anyone else, and then close federation when it's no longer advantageous, gutting Fediverse in process.
It's not a new thing, Google did the same with XMPP and Google Talk. Who now remembers that Google Talk was federated? Facebook's Messenger is XMPP based and FB promised to federate it too - which never happened. Ironically, even WhatsApp is XMPP.
Psy Chuan 
@TranshumanBlues @davidrevoy it's multiple things. any server that federated with FB will send data of any posts it receives to FB as well as what's made. also you only need to look at what's happened to community spaces on the web since FB rose to realise that they will kill Fedi too, because their drive is monopoly of the attention market. letting FB in would eventually cause the death of Fedi. see what Google did to XMPP for reference

mirabilos@davidrevoy add the GtS sloth ;)
@mirabilos Oh true! I forgot about him.
(edit: same about Rose, the fennec star of Mobilizon, and probably more!)
stefan@mirabilos @davidrevoy The sloth just did not make it in time for the picture... Why is the GotoSocial mascot a sloth btw?
@stefan @davidrevoy yo no lo sé 😼
jra@davidrevoy This is absolutely brilliant!

@davidrevoy incredibly realistic
Coralie Renée@davidrevoy Oh my gosh, That's Scary! Yep I'm talking about Meta Joining. Not your amazing illustrations that I love big Time!
ash@davidrevoy "but it's an open standard!" mhmyup, u wait for their disproportionate effect on the system; I'll stay campaigning against them at every turn.
They haven't displayed a change in behaviour satisfactory enough to assuage my concerns yet.
Call it paranoia 🙆🏻♀️

Fell@davidrevoy Facebook (I'm refusing to call them Meta) has done some good contributions to open source software. Not many, but it exists.
I just want to believe they actually come in peace. I hope. I pray.
Imagine they just federate Facebook and that's it. Wouldn't that be kinda nice? *shivers in fear*
Pudding Kartoffel@fell @davidrevoy I got screamed at by someone for saying that it's fine that arch switches to zstd since the kernel already uses it
@fell @davidrevoy they don't. as a business they want a return on investment, and we will be that return
