@Mastodon I'm still confident that Facebook's adoption of the ActivityPub protocol will mean nothing in terms of liberating others from vendor lock-in. Threads will either keep being centralized through EEE or enter limited federation (according to rumors I've heard about), where it can choose its own servers to federate with instead of the whole network (basically meaning it'll just choose the servers that will kneel over to it). I just cannot get myself to trust one of the worst tech companies in the world.

That said, I feel that it's REALLY helpful that you answered many of the more technical questions concerning the Fediverse. This network is a new thing, and many people don't understand it much (even some people working with tech have some confusions about it). So, answering how the Fediverse functions and how some specific things will or won't happen really dissipates the confusion.
