With Meta starting to actually implement ActivityPub, I think it would be a good idea to remind everyone of what they are most likely going to do.

    Might be because of Threads, and Meta seeking to use ActivityPub themselves.

    I don’t disagree with you though; I don’t think the fedi is big enough at the moment to register as more than a blip on their radar, as you said.

        It costs peanuts to eliminate a weed in your yard when it first sprouts.

        It also gets the jump on your neighbours who might be interested in this little weed as well.

        Also you can’t have unmonetized weeds popping up everywhere they might inject colour and variety into your barren add riddled hellscape.
