Bye bye old fedi 👋 thx for all the Free Beer!
With #Facebook plans to test decentralized waters after #Cloudflare and others, we'll see resilience of #Fediverse to remain of-the-people.
Does it matter if they'll be #ActivityPub-based or not? Stuff depends on levels of investment and products launched.
Was thinking #BigTech would only add AP endpoints a bit naive?
Will slick open core products, sdk's, quality semi-open specs and docs, launch the #CorpoVerse?
Keep the #FOSS free beer coming 😞
@smallcircles I'm not worried 🙂
@atomicpoet I wouldn't say I am worried. This was bound to happen one day.
But I am disappointed that in all the years before the grassroots #FOSS movement wasn't able to create stronger foundations that would place them in a better position than they are now.
It is a fact of life, I know. #FreeSoftware has a big sustainability issue that is very hard to tackle.
If #Fediverse is taken over by the corporate world, FOSS projects are left to add to that or explore new areas to be captured later.
The Four Freedoms in service of the Fifth: The Freedom to Corrupt.
Thwarted #FOSS values by #Hypercapitalist influence. Things taken from the #Commons to serve the bottom line of the privileged.
@smallcircles But something to remember: if Meta actually does this, they will have compromised big time too.
Just like Microsoft compromised.
And Adobe compromised.
But can't we just block servers / people who are on there, we should, from the start distrust them, and anyone using their services that are activity pub enabled.
