ActivityPub won't ever "truly" die, it might lose the chance of becoming "the salvation from mega corporations running the internet" though. We'll always have the possibility of running small-ish, tight-knit instances.

But agreed, fuck Zuckerberg and his cronies.

I don't think it was ever going to be the salvation from mega corporations. The internet itself was touted as that, but corporations figured out how to capture and own most of it. No reason they wouldn't do the same thing for ActivityPub if it became as common place as the Internet itself.

Yup, capitalism pushes them to try to own/incorporate everything that can either be a threat or a resource for the business.
