How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse) écrit par Ploum, Lionel Dricot, ingénieur, écrivain de science-fiction, développeur de logiciels libres.

With Meta starting to actually implement ActivityPub, I think it would be a good idea to remind everyone of what they are most likely going to do.

    I mean I think it will be if they really to end up federating. Why sign up for an ad-ridden data-hoarding service when you can use services that don’t have that nonsense but still allows you to do all the things you want to do on social media?

        I don’t know what their endgame is. Maybe you have some better perspective than me?

        Do you REALLY think they’re dedicating company resources to squash an entire network that comprises like .001% of market share?

        I think most likely the “endgame” is to avoid legal regulation. Something they can point to and say that they have valid competition, and that they’re actively supporting that competition. Which is great.

          Why can’t it be both? It’s useful now for that reason and if it does grow they are in a position to kill it or absorb it.
