@oblomov@sociale.network @evan@cosocial.ca To a certain extent, Meta’s concern is interoperability. The concern is selfish, and they’re not exactly in it for the good feels. But if they weren’t looking for interoperability, why bother with ActivityPub? They would do just as fine without it.

But that’s neither here nor there. Going back to my earlier points, what’s the alternative here?

It’s not Fediblock. You know why that’s not likely, so it’s silly to discuss that.

It’s not wagging our fingers at Meta and tell them to stop using ActivityPub because we don’t have control over that.

And it’s not migrating to AT protocol because that’s a different can of worms in and of itself.

The only practical option I see is to leverage interoperability to offer alternatives to Meta.

Meta isn’t our friend. But just because they’re not a friend doesn’t mean we abandon interoperability.
