That’s it. It’s just the fastest springboard this garbage company had to get yet another social media platform out the door when they sensed blood in the water.

Edit: This is a response to people who think FB users will somehow discover the fediverse and be converted by this action. They won’t.

Or that FB has noble goals in choosing AP or will somehow be forced to be better. They won’t.

It’s just good software.

    For me, it’s not so much about what they can do now, but what they will do in the future.

    I’m not a very technical person (at least in this field). But I’m infinitely distrustful of anything Meta does and I consider it hubris if we think we’re safe with the implementations we have now. They’re talented and ruthless at what they do; making money out of you, whether you want to or not.

      They already have it and it’s called browser fingerprinting.
