There's one benefit from #Meta adopting #ActivityPub I think; plz tell me if I'm wrong:
That all large orgs, universities, publications, charities, governments, councils, political parties, ministries, institutions, broadcasters etc may finally be persuaded to have their own ActivityPub server on a subdomain of theirs. That won't just give them a platform to us 1.5 million here but 100m+ more.
And if it means they move from Xitter to selfhost so we can follow if we want, that seems a leap fwd.
