I also find it very unlikely that someone having issues with Twitter is going to find any more joy using "Twitter" by another name, by another giant tech company

I'm struggling to think of a reason that Meta is implementing ActivityPub protocol in Threads. There are a couple of possible reasons:
- access to an instant user base
- potential to influence a worrying rival
What I can't figure out is how they intend to make money while allowing external instances access to the content? After all, any client could be used to strip out ads. It just doesn't feel like it benefits Meta.
It leaves me a bit worried that they intend to divert the protocol in some way.
Great story!
Saying that I don't think it's a good idea to mix FOSS with other political causes. It seems to be a newish trend which I think risks the FOSS movement. I shouldn't be trying to force my views onto other developers, with the exception of the license variant.
