The Meta Twitter-clone is allegedly going to have ActivityPub connectivity. That may be just the tip of the iceberg.
I just hope Meta doesn't get it's claws into activitypub at the roots. The whole point of this thing is to avoid corporate domination and I don't want them to turn it into a charade.
I donβt think its a bad thing tbh as long as it is in the fediverse. Think of it as email. Google, Microsoft and many others are in the game but email stays the same
Just gotta watch out for the old EEE tactics Microsoft has pulled in the past, if they manage to stuff content into ActivityPub posts against the spec which encourage people to move to their "compatible" service and making the normal apps seem broken. Google does the same thing with Chrome features against web standards set by the W3C.
Yeah, It could be really "dangerous" for the Fediverse, I dread the moment when Facebook or another corp will start to fuck with it.
