Wait. People are saying Meta's decentralized app will be powered by #ActivityPub, and will interoperate with Mastodon.
On top of it, it will be Instagram-branded.
Surprising. But again, I'll believe it when I see it.
Wow. We're really going to see a Fediverse dogpile soon.
It doesn't matter if Meta never does this.
The point is enough developers will *think* Meta will do this -- and this is going to cause an avalanche of development.
Not all these developers will believe in decentralization. They'll be opportunists through and through.
I'm no fool. Meta is definitely going to try to "embrace, extend, and extinguish" if they actually follow through on a decentralized social network.
In my view, they're no different from Cloudflare.
But you know what we just caused them to do? Acknowledge the Fediverse.
Think about that.
Quite right, and the fediverse are aware of this, and are already planning to fight back.
It is how we counter this that is important, I am not techy enough to get how to do that.
