@jdp23 I feel you’re being disingenuous here. I never said anything about “working with Meta”. Quite the opposite.

I spoke about Meta interoperating with us. That’s not “working with Meta”. That’s something Meta is doing on their own regardless of whether anyone likes it or not.

Interoperability will happen because ActivityPub is an open protocol, and you can’t control who uses it.

I also spoke about why Fediblock is not feasible, and why addressing Meta requires a different strategy.

I also didn’t point to RSS, XMPP, or email as successes (though they are) but as examples of why the “extinguish” part of “embrace, extend, and extinguish” doesn’t work.

More to the point, nobody is offering any alternative solutions here other than Fediblock. However, Fediblock is not a migration path, and the it’s unlikely that’s ever going to happen.

So no, this doesn’t clarify “anything” except that you either didn’t read what I wrote, or imagined me saying something else entirely.

Take care 👋
