How long until Google and Microsoft launch their own Fediverse instances and give people one-click opt-in to a Mastodon-like experience?
If ActivityPub is basically an email-like protocol, then hosting someone's Fediverse identity is pretty similar to giving them an email account, right?
Any reason to think this is a bad idea for them (other than the moderation problem)?
@acjay That is an interesting question. It likely depends on how popular this gets with the general, non-tech savvy public, and the media. Also whether they see business use cases for it. A possibly even better question than whether it is bad idea for them, is whether it would be bad (or good) for the #fediverse community to have large companies "moving in"?
