Personally, I want nothing to do with them and I’m not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I moved to the Fediverse to get away from all these corpos.

    Between here and the debates on mastodon/Calckey it seems there’s a lot of fear their data will be scraped without understanding that Meta (or any corp) can do that without setting up an instance. The other is not wanting all that meta crap in their feeds… but that’s solely up to the people they follow. Lastly is the EEE, but ActivityPub is an open protocol so there’s no stopping them from using it any more than stopping them from using http. And preemptive blocking by some instances will do nothing to stop them from using it either.

    This is all so well put. Much better than I was able to communicate.

    ActivityPub feels like plumbing to me in the way that TCP/IP feel like plumbing. Meta, Google, etc all use the same plumbing - so what?
