To real concerns that Meta might do to Acivitypub as Google & they did to XMPP, this seems helpful including this point via
@darius

"Regardless of bigco shenanigans around open protocols, Kazemi isn’t worried about what happens with ActivityPub. 'The nice thing for me is that if the big companies do jump in [to support ActivityPub] and then sort of walk it back,' he remarked, 'at worst, we’ll be back to where we are right now, which is still a pretty nice place.'”

Why Developers Should Experiment with the Fediverse - The New Stack

The fediverse may represent the future of social media, so developers take note. It's time to experiment with the platform and its protocols.

yep the key point is we have to have a strong "culture" so we can try and hold our #fashionista crew from going down the #dotcons path because it's "better", this is harder than our "logic" thinks it is. Take note.

@Hamishcampbell we basically have to be militantly opposed to letting them become big players who can shove their weight around and affect everything, which is in direct opposition to "why not?don't be antisocial. come on it's just easier and more popular! don't you want people to join?"

It's a cup game we've seen a thousand times with http, email, browsers, OSes, XMPP... every influence of for-profit corporations is ultimately to our detriment.
