@J12t To quote the Violent Femmes, "third verse the same as the first"

part of embrace and extend for open protocols can be a play to hold off regulators for anti-trust, especially when used against a smaller group

embrace and extend being a play to mollify regulators doesn't mean Facebook isn't bent on controlling the space

@lufthans You have a good point here. Even if the "taking-over-the-existing-fediverse" reason is not compelling, as I point out, that doesn't mean embrace and extend won't be part of the game plan -- and it almost certainly will be, I agree. I'm going to add this to the post.

@J12t it can be triple-E: evade, embrace and extend

@J12t donating to keep the Fediverse (apparently) alive might be worth it to facebook to evade sanctions

a few million dollars a year might be well worth being able to claim interoperability

so maybe it becomes eek - evade, embrace, keeponlifesupport
