Plus knowing meta, they'll problary select a handful of instances to federate with. Meaning this plan is stupid.

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.

Plus this isn't like its XMPP or something where people actaully care who they're talking to. I really don't.

Mastodon.social is the biggest instance

There's plenty of conversation already existing. Even my single user instance is barely keeping up.

Its not like this is how federation works, federation happens in 3 ways: a person follows a user, thus getting their posts, an instance follows a relay, which gets sent posts and spreads them back out like a vaccum, and 3rd boosting posts.

I don't see threads changing all that much if people don't follow those accounts, and or meta doesn't follow relays and send their posts out through relays.

Still don't get how their do that while there is already a big coperate backing with mastodon gbmh.

XMPP did not exist on its own outside of nerd circles, while ActivityPub enjoys the support and brand recognition of Mastodon.'

Is he foolish? I can't tell, mastodon is massive. Look at mastodon.social, there's already plenty of people here.'

I see meta no different than the company behind mastodon

Mets is not different than any other person entering the fediverse. They are ultimately a company and will do what they need to be profitable. Ultimately they advertise social connection, and that's their business model.

Why is everyone acting like meta is different than anyone else, they're not special.

Want to ask how? I see meta no different than any other company or person joining the fediverse. They ultimately get no special treatment and are subject to each instances moderation.

that is already being done

Not surprising

yeah, lemmy and kbin is a link aggregator
