With Meta starting to actually implement ActivityPub, I think it would be a good idea to remind everyone of what they are most likely going to do.

I don’t know what their endgame is. Maybe you have some better perspective than me?

Do you REALLY think they’re dedicating company resources to squash an entire network that comprises like .001% of market share?

I think most likely the “endgame” is to avoid legal regulation. Something they can point to and say that they have valid competition, and that they’re actively supporting that competition. Which is great.

Why can’t it be both? It’s useful now for that reason and if it does grow they are in a position to kill it or absorb it.
