 @ariadne It's the incorrect answers you'd expect: 0) It means ActivityPub will win over ATProto! 1) it'll grow the network! 2) People using Meta will have an onramp to fedi! 3) Meta will make a lot of money, so instance admins will be able to make a living! 4) It's totally different from XMPP because! 5) We should take a "trust but verify" approach, and can always turn them off if they do bad things! 6) they can already scrape all our data anyhow! etc. 6 comments
 @dr_a well, @darius has a specific take on this that I don't agree with, but it's something to consider: bra@jdp23@indieweb.social @ariadne @dansup @edendestroyer @dr_a Meta's horrible and they'll corrupt anybody who works with them but I'm actually optimistic about the overall effect on the fediverse. If you look at the fault lines between who's cozying up to Meta and who isn't, a schism between the two factions could be a big plus in a lot of ways. And with luck the whole situation will put a lot more emphasis on consent -- which could align well with new AcitivtyPub server implementations. @jdp23 @ariadne @dansup @edendestroyer @rysiek @jdp23 @ariadne @dansup @edendestroyer @rysiek Sorry for too many ?? |

@jdp23 @ariadne @dansup @edendestroyer @rysiek that sad part is that you’re both right, and probably not nearly as pessimistic as is justified.
