The Meta Twitter-clone is allegedly going to have ActivityPub connectivity. That may be just the tip of the iceberg.
I just hope Meta doesn't get it's claws into activitypub at the roots. The whole point of this thing is to avoid corporate domination and I don't want them to turn it into a charade.
New guy here: What’s “activitypub”? Thanks in advance awesome human!
it's a standardized protocol for creating decentralized social networks. basically if everybody who wanted to create a social network agreed to use activitypub, they'd all be able to talk to each other, just like anyone can send email to anyone else, even if they aren't on the same email server.
this is why i'm against bluesky even though a lot of my friends are on it... it's just another walled off single-entity-controlled property. didn't we learn anything from twitter and now reddit!?
Thanks for the information! And I agree that distributed seems to be the best way forward…
