They don't need to do that when the fedi is a thousandth of the size of their social networks lol. It's hilarious that you think they need our user base.

They don't care about the user base we have today. They want to eliminate the potential user base we may have in a decade.

It's not so much about wanting this user base as it is eliminating potential competition and maybe stamping out a place on the internet where people can freely and openly communicate.

Implementing ActivityPub at their scale costs way more than allowing a drop-in-the-bucket network to go on existing. The fediverse is not really competition for them
