This is a bit political but i feel this should be looked at. Whatever it’s on on the Lemmy instance or the Mastodon instances.
My main concern is about the concept of Embrase Extend Extinguish they could use.
ActivityPub is a W3 consortium standard, so Meta really can’t “control” or “own” it.
I wish more people understood this. The fediverse isn’t owned by anyone. I’m not a big fan of Meta, but I think people overreact. It is not like Meta suddenly saw people joining Lemmy and decided to become federated. They were working on ActivityPub compliance for a while now. Twitter was too, but Elon may have laid off the people working on that.
But ultimately, it’s up to each instance to decide. I’d rather some instances federate and some instances de-federate Meta. That how all this works–each instance is different.
