@gamingonlinux I’m not aure how to feel about that. New user to Mastodon, but can they in any way harm this platform?

@gamingonlinux this would destroy twitter as their complete user base including companies and celebs can then simply abandon the bird site but still carry on the same conversation. I do hope activitypub is not a shallow promise. It would be amazing but I would see no reason to use their app then.

@gamingonlinux will be very interesting to see with regards to federation. On one hand, it makes it far less difficult to follow and interact with IG users. No need for Bibliogram or other workarounds to an extent, and no need for an Instagram account.

On the other hand, I am sure a LOT of instances will outright block federating with them, similar I imagine to what some have said with Tumblr announcing AcitivityPub federation.
