Don't we want these big platforms to adopt ActivityPub?

No. We don't. The more hands they have in the fediverse pie, the more influence they have over it. The more influence they have, the more control. The more control, the more at the whim of their decisions you are. The more at the whim of their decisions, the more power they have over you.

This should be common sense at this point.

I don't even know if I disagree with "big platforms" using activitypub. Like Tumblr integration could be cool, but fucking facebook? Eww
