Gregory's Serveridk, immediately de-federating the meta thing before we even have a *name* for the thing (let alone any official information) seems pretty reactionary and immature.

 I don't get all the fuss. It's not like a catastrophe is going to happen unless precautions are taken in advance. Just wait and see what this thing ends up being. You will always be able to block it. Stop treating anything coming out of Facebook like it's radioactive. After all, Mastodon itself built its web app with React, a Facebook product. @samhenrigold I mean, if Meta did not have the history that they do in fact have then yes, your point would make sense. But it does have the history that it has. So it makes sense to take that into account. Now, if Meta does break with its longstanding habits and do some actually verifiably good thing with ActivityPub, at that point it would make sense to talk about federating, but unless that happens we only have history as our guide. |
@samhenrigold it’s like a healthy dose of cynical skepticism - surely they don’t have our best interests at heart - but maybe too much melodrama
