  • I disagree with you 100% :)

    What i’m saying is people like you will never be convinced of anything so it doesn’t matter what Meta does.

    But for the rest of us, I’ll enjoy following people i haven’t followed because i refuse to have meta apps installed but will soon be able to connect without them.

    Activitypub is going to be here no matter what.

    I’ll make it so awesome the people I like on Meta will move over

    And i’ll continue to ignore the people who are just espousing hate and vitriol because they don’t matter anyway.

    It’s about the people - not the protocol. the protocol helps us break the walled gardens down - but we have to welcome the people or it won’t matter.



  • You’re not thinking broad enough.

    Meta joining and be successful means Reddit has to think about federating or not being successful.

    Wordpress is going to have all their blogs on activitypub soon. Tumblr says they’re joining - Mozilla is hirring product and developers to build out their platform.

    Also, Meta is a multi billion dollar company - they know how to do UI/UX - they can spend their investment/R&D on solving problems we can’t and we can be nice and welcoming to the users who show curiosity.

    It’s a shame we’re too short sighted to see opportunity here. We really have nothing to lose since it’s not like meta will suck all the haters back in









  • The population doesn’t care about the technology. If we make social media about activitypub more than it is about social media and connecting people - we’ll be shooting our own foot off no mater what meta or anyone does.

    Instances and fediverse are great because of the mods, admins and people. Activitypub is the protocol and it’s an open web standard. We should expect web standards and join them but remember the product isn’t the protocol - it’s connecting people

    i for one look forward to bridging to p92 and showing them what great communities can be like.
