@pfefferle When do you think we get the first Cambridge Analytica or Rohingya crisis using ActivityPub and the Social Web foundation, seeing as Meta is also a member?

@mojala ActivityPub is an open spec, Meta does not have to join a foundation to implement it :)

That's true. And Wordpress doesn't have to join a foundation to implement ActivityPub. But even though you don't have to, both Wordpress and, Meta and actually have joined the same foundation to partner together to promote ActivityPub. I get it, from Wordpress' perspective the benefits of having Meta involved outweigh the downsides, and presumably you've already factored in the costs of partnering with an anti-LGBTQ+ company with a track record of racism, Islamophobia, enabling multiple genocides and supports fascist and authoritarian politicians ... but, you very definitely are partnering with them.

EDITED to add: at least you're parterning with them for now. Nothing's written in stone! At some point SWF's partners -- who all know better than to trust Meta -- may well decide that the organization is more to succeed holding Meta at arms length instead of embracing them. Time will tell!

@mojala @pfefferle won't happen. One of the goals for the social web is to convince us that our digital footprints should be completely public.

If all of our data is out in the open, there's nothing left for #Meta to protect.

@fromjason @pfefferle Just because something is public doesn’t mean it can’t be used against you. And a fully transparent panopticon is of course something meta could well exploit and monetize.
