  • Can someone explain to me why people are so violently opposed to this?

    If Threads blows up, and ActivityPub is integrated, you’ll have access to all of it through any federated instance. No need to let Meta sap all your data to view it or communicate with it’s users. Meta can’t kill ActivityPub or force us onto Threads, just abandon it and leave us back where we are today. If you don’t like the Meta users, just make or join an instance that isn’t federated.

    Anyone can scrape the metaverse data and use it for whatever, Meta included. Them implementing ActivityPub doesn’t change anything about that.

    Look I don’t like Meta as much as the next guy, but this all just seems like illogical gatekeeping

    Edit: I understand now, see: XMPP and Google. Good article someone replied to me with, down below.
