So, a week ago Meta was contacting Mastodon admins to give them a "heads up" they were going to launch soon, and that it could impact the Fediverse. Then this morning before launch, they announced they were in fact not launching with ActivityPub federation. I bet it took extra effort to disable support for it. They did a bait-and-switch; a slap in the face.

Without federation, it's an inferior Twitter clone. I am disappointed in the many people signing up for it.

However, I don't believe it will last. Centralized social media is not sustainable.
