Wait. People are saying Meta's decentralized app will be powered by #ActivityPub, and will interoperate with Mastodon.

On top of it, it will be Instagram-branded.

Surprising. But again, I'll believe it when I see it.

Wow. We're really going to see a Fediverse dogpile soon.

It doesn't matter if Meta never does this decentralized social network and integrates ActivityPub.

The point is enough developers will *think* Meta will do this -- and this is going to cause an avalanche of development.

Not all these developers will believe in decentralization. They'll be opportunists through and through.

I'm no fool. Meta is definitely going to try to "embrace, extend, and extinguish" if they actually follow through on a decentralized social network.

In my view, they're no different from Cloudflare.

But you know what we just caused them to do? Acknowledge the Fediverse.

Think about that.

In the meantime, this Meta adventure with decentralized social networks socially validates everything I've been doing for the past 5 years.

😁

Seriously, the pendulum has officially swung in my direction!

Mark Zuckerberg will be in a world of hurt if he thinks the Fediverse is anything like the Metaverse -- and he can just waltz in with one instance, taking all the real estate.

LMAO!

If Meta tries to be Meta -- and they'll try! -- that will be a lesson for the textbooks!

What do you want to bet that Tumblr, Flickr, and Post are going to want to get the drop on Meta beforehand?
