just run linux with waydroid lmao, why run a proprietary stack that problary logs everything you do and sends it back to microsoft employees.

they are actaully fixing that? So is it ta bug?

not suprised, E-mail has been on that downward spiral for a while. The only thing keeping that alive is many independent E-mail servers.

Really intresting rticle

I don't see threads providing any value

I hate this article since it compares to XMPP. A much more accurate comparison would be seething like E-mail, I believe.

I get it... I'm likely going to block meta instances from the servers I have whenever I have time to figure out how to.

Oh really?

That is a very real thing they do. I like this reasoning

No I just don't see meta wanting to compete in those fields

Activity pub is more than just mastodon, there is book ratings, and also peertube.

I don't see meta ever going there.

I can't figure out what meta wants to actaully do.

I can't decipher fully.

If your a big instance and don't want to waste bandwidth, just block them.

If you want meta, block them from the federated timeline if you desire.

No one will guide you in what to do with your fedi instance.

I also might be underestimating people's ability to actaully use a platform. Idk

I've spent way too long thinking about this.

Plus knowing meta, they'll problary select a handful of instances to federate with. Meaning this plan is stupid.

I think meta just wants to captailize on twitters demise.

I don't see how crushing activtypub would help them in anyway.

Mastodon is already massive and many companies (and the EU) have their own instance.

Plus this isn't like its XMPP or something where people actaully care who they're talking to. I really don't.

Mastodon.social is the biggest instance

There's plenty of conversation already existing. Even my single user instance is barely keeping up.

Its not like this is how federation works, federation happens in 3 ways: a person follows a user, thus getting their posts, an instance follows a relay, which gets sent posts and spreads them back out like a vaccum, and 3rd boosting posts.

I don't see threads changing all that much if people don't follow those accounts, and or meta doesn't follow relays and send their posts out through relays.

Still don't get how their do that while there is already a big coperate backing with mastodon gbmh.

XMPP did not exist on its own outside of nerd circles, while ActivityPub enjoys the support and brand recognition of Mastodon.'

Is he foolish? I can't tell, mastodon is massive. Look at mastodon.social, there's already plenty of people here.'

I see meta no different than the company behind mastodon
