@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.
