Embrace, Extend, and Exploit: Meta's plan for ActivityPub, Mastodon and the fediverse
privacy.thenexus.today/embrace…
- Embrace #ActivityPub, , #Mastodon, and the #fediverse
- Extend ActivityPub, Mastodon, and the fediverse with a very-usable app that provides additional functionality (initially the ability to follow everybody you're following on Instagram, and to communicate with all #Threads users) that isn't available to the rest of the fediverse – as well over time providing additional services and introducing incompatibilities and non-standard improvements to the protocol
- Exploit ActivityPub, Mastodon, and the fediverse by utilizing them for profit – and also using them selfishly for Meta's own ends

Als Antwort auf The Nexus of Privacy • • •excellent article btw, just finished, my take is a naming convention you might have just created:
> REGIONS of the fediverse.
I don't think there was a better word to define it because it creates nothing new with that word. e.g.: there's a region already made of Truth SOcial, there's another region made of instances in PLeroma that rarely anyone federates with, there's the region where you and I are right now discussing this. The fediverse has always been fractured and I love it is.
It gives me HOPE Threads won't be able to destroy it.

Als Antwort auf Maikel 🇪🇺 • • •@maikel thanks, glad you like it! And yes, it's a great point that there are already multiple regions of the fediverse.
And no, Threads won't be able to destroy what many of us find great about the fediverse: a network of instances that are local communities (at least to some extent) plugging into a broader discussion. We are not without power here! One of the most important aspects of #FediPact is that it signaled how many instances are ready to say no to Meta.

Unbekannter Ursprungsbeitrag • • •@smallcircles Thanks! That thread by Jason is great, I had linked to one of the posts in in it in footnote 0.
On the Open Ecosystems Standards Process, I agree with Hamish's point earlier in the thread that it needs to be considered from an activism perspective. The current fediverse power structure's interests (and attitudes towards welcoming surveillance capitalism) are very differen than the broader population; and lack of diversity on the SCIWG means that they have no claim whatsoever of representing broader interests. And I don't see either of those changing.
