Embrace, Extend, and Exploit: Meta's plan for ActivityPub, Mastodon and the fediverse

https://privacy.thenexus.today/embrace-extend-and-exploit/

1. Embrace #ActivityPub, , #Mastodon, and the #fediverse

2. Extend ActivityPub, Mastodon, and the fediverse with a very-usable app that provides additional functionality (initially the ability to follow everybody you're following on Instagram, and to communicate with all #Threads users) that isn't available to the rest of the fediverse – as well over time providing additional services and introducing incompatibilities and non-standard improvements to the protocol

3. Exploit ActivityPub, Mastodon, and the fediverse by utilizing them for profit – and also using them selfishly for Meta's own ends
