I am assuming many of you have heard about the potential of Meta creating an ActivityPub enabled client (TheVerge, PCMag etc. have made articles). I was just wondering what people's thoughts are on this, and if it came down to it should instances in the fediverse defederate from it considering it could be a case of Embrace, extend, extinguish.

There's a DefederateMeta magazine at [email protected] if you're interested, which includes an anti-meta pact on cryptpad with the responses viewable on a seperate website if you care to see which instance admins have agreed.

I'm just curious what my fellow sh.it.heads think of this development in the fediverse, any input is appreciated!

Reposting at the request of can, within the context of c/agora should this instance defederate from any future Meta activity pub enabled clients? From my understanding it is more so a Twitter-clone and I'd argue a more severe problem for Kbin / Mastodon, but it is still worth discussing here.

lol, sorry. Sh.it.heads**

I agree with your added notes. If Meta's P92 instance became the de-facto party that everyone's at, I would likely self-host my own instance and use that to browse/communicate, if there's anything of value there; I know a lot of Homebrewing groups flock to Facebook today. I would keep my sh.itjust.works account to have more meaningful engagement. It's kinda like my two emails.... my shitty gmail account I've had for a long time & my email meant for more curated communication.

Personally, I'm enjoying both sh.itjust.works & my niche Mastodon instance (noc.social). It's nice to be part of a community, but be able to follow/search those beyond. I agree with your ideals that we should praise this method and educate everyone who misses the protocol for a platform.
