It's all fun and games until Facebook starts adding features, then eventually starts defining what the fediverse should do to maintain federation with Facebook.

I think meta just wants to captailize on twitters demise.

I don't see how crushing activtypub would help them in anyway.

Mastodon is already massive and many companies (and the EU) have their own instance.

You don't see how crushing their competition would help them?

Activity pub is more than just mastodon, there is book ratings, and also peertube.

I don't see meta ever going there.

I don’t see meta ever going there.

out of the goodness of their collective hearts? They already sell books (through ads) and host video, why do you think they'd stop after only crushing federalized social media? Because they can't be bothered?

No I just don't see meta wanting to compete in those fields
