With Meta starting to actually implement ActivityPub, I think it would be a good idea to remind everyone of what they are most likely going to do.

as opposed to having 100m users in less than a year compared to 1.5m in 7 years

quality > quantity

Oh stop.

There are several communities I follow that are either husks of what exists on Reddit or aren’t here at all.

I wish I could just get everyone to move but it just isn’t happening.

does sub have 141 million users

[–] capital 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No.

But to participate in them, I must go use one of the most popular websites in the world.

It’s almost as if there will be a good subset of users from almost any website. Which is worth federating to access.

is it worth federating with genocide enabler

[–] capital 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes.

You can already access their resources using IP and DNS.

I want to treat ActivityPub like plumbing.

Why would anyone want millions of users to come here? Everything that becomes popular or has potential to make a lot of money is always ruined eventually.
