    They don’t have to modify Activity Pub directly to cause chaos. The likely order of events that everyone is worried about it the 3E’s.

    From wikipedia’s entry:

    1. Embrace: Development of software substantially compatible with a competing product, or implementing a public standard.
    2. Extend: Addition and promotion of features not supported by the competing product or part of the standard, creating interoperability problems for customers who try to use the “simple” standard.
    3. Extinguish: When extensions become a de facto standard because of their dominant market share, they marginalize competitors that do not or cannot support the new extensions.
