That said, should Meta actually federate with Barcelona, it should be seen as a victory of sorts.
It means the biggest social media company in the world validated the notion of a Fediverse.
I’ll probably block Barcelona. You probably should too. Meta probably won’t be a good citizen.
Nevertheless, adoption of decentralized social media will soon be in full swing.
I suspect there’s a political component for why Meta is using ActivityPub for Barcelona.
Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t like Elon Musk, and I don’t think he likes Jack Dorsey either.
So that probably means that AT protocol is a no go for him.
