   Fediverse Report (fediversereport@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 05-Jul-2023 21:20:22 JST Fediverse Report

   Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, posted a message on #Threads explaining why Meta is committed to adding #ActivityPub support. The reason he lists is the ability to take your social graph to another server.

     This was shared with the admin discussion as well.

     In fact, they asked if we could join some initiative that is focused on account portability for data migrations.

     @fediversereport I read this a little differently.

     He's not saying that #Meta wants to support #ActivityPub because migration is important to them.

     He's just saying this is a selling point for potential users. He wants to convince Meta's critics that #Threads won't lock in users.

     Are they really committed to openness? Time will tell, but I'm still skeptical.

     @fediversereport he actually says "your audience" not your social graph, and that's a significant difference which we should note. Because the difference between Mastodon/fedi is that they are primarily social platforms which is about to be confronted by an anti social behemoth when it is allowed to federate.

     Many here, sadly including admins think the protocol can preserve this, but like those arguing for search they haven't thought this through or are not considering the evidence.

     @fediversereport so many "we can trust what they say" replies here.

     Play nice, infiltrate, capture and turn the screw has been played out so many times and yet🤦♂️

     I'm seeing so much of this about Meta I begin to wonder if it's astroturfing, and then I remember I'm hearing it from admins too.🤷♂️

     When I polled about blocking commercial instances, when Medium joined, I was heartened to see much support but I'm afraid they aren't being heard, or even asked. I'm on three instances, none have polled.

     @fediversereport what's their take on people posting porns here, I think their community guidelines won't like it.

     We can already do this without you, Meta.
     😒🙄😒

     "Complications" is very nice wording for not respecting privacy laws.
