@stefan so, when we say "influence on the network" here, I don't think you mean that there would be no impact whatsoever of having Threads implement ActivityPub, right?
That seems unlikely. Every node on the network has an impact on the network, at the technical and human level, however small.
I think what you're saying is that you don't want them to have any influence on the ActivityPub standard itself?
And I want to check: do you mean *no* influence, or just no *bad* influence?
