Gregory's Server@mhoye I'm worried about Meta slurping up all of our personal information. ActivityPub isn't going anywhere just like all those things you mentioned didn't go anywhere.
Meta joining fedi is going to automatically opt everyone into their data collection and the only way to opt out is for your admin to actively and preemptively defederate from them. I'd rather not allow _Facebook_ to ingest my entire social graph, every public post I've ever made, every favourite, every boost, and every reaction.
And yes, this is already possible, anyone can do it, and people already have done it. There's a slight difference, though, between one asshole in his basement and the largest social media company on the planet.
