@osc @feditips @ThePlant @Mastodon Ever heard about "embrace-extend-extinguish"? Yeah, Microsoft still does that. Google does that. Meta will do that. They just haven't had a direct competitor to do it to. Meta has already been contributing to open source projects they are using for their own services for years, but all of those are basic infrastructure, not services that could take away users (and therefore money) from their products. They won't play nice.
