How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse) écrit par Ploum, Lionel Dricot, ingénieur, écrivain de science-fiction, développeur de logiciels libres.

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 mean, that would be the initial fear, but I’m not sure how that would matter. Threads can defederate from Lemmy.nsfw but lemmy.world can still federate both.

    Maybe I dont understand something

      I don’t see this as a genuine, good faith move from Meta. We’re potential future competition to them. They can’t buy us so I think there going to try to shit up the pace over years and hope we come groveling back. It’s a make or break moment for the protocol against a titan.

        I don’t think they fear the two hundred thousand people using fediverse compared to their hundreds of millions to billions of users.

        We’re as much competition to them as a food truck is a threat to taco bell.
