I am assuming many of you have heard about the potential of Meta creating an ActivityPub enabled client (TheVerge, PCMag etc. have made articles). I was just wondering what people’s thoughts are on this, and if it came down to it should instances in the fediverse defederate from it considering it could be a case of Embrace, extend, extinguish.
There’s a DefederateMeta magazine at [email protected] if you’re interested, which includes an anti-meta pact on cryptpad with the responses viewable on a seperate website if you care to see which instance admins have agreed.
I’m just curious what my fellow sh.it.heads think of this development in the fediverse, any input is appreciated!
Reposting at the request of can, within the context of c/agora should this instance defederate from any future Meta activity pub enabled clients? From my understanding it is more so a Twitter-clone and I’d argue a more severe problem for Kbin / Mastodon, but it is still worth discussing here.
It’s like the sharks sensing blood in the water - Reddit is bleeding and so they assume it’s weak enough to go for the kill.
I would say it’s shameful or deeply unethical behavior, but it’s Reddit’s own poor behavior that got us here in the first place.
It seems that it requires a constant and great deal of effort from ordinary people to continuously fight and stop the enshittification of the Internet.
It goes without saying, but Fuck Meta/Facebook. This is what free speech is all about.
