      I actually disagree for several reasons.

      One is that activitypub is an open protocol. It’s for the individual servers to decide who they want to federate with, not some centralized decision made by an authority of the fediverse.

      Another is that there are many good reasons to have more people, and especially casual users, entering the fediverse. Artists could share their work on Pixelfed, where they are the rightful owners of their own accounts, and yet have it shared with mass audiences including Threads users. For many people, this is essential for making a living doing what they do.

      Other people who don’t need to (or want to) have that kind of reach can be on servers that federate with the artists, but block Threads users. They’ll see what the artists post, but they’ll remain oblivious to the comments made by Threads users.

          I have been using FOSS since forever and this is always the fear whenever any big company is involved in any way. Sometimes I completely agree. With activitypub I just don’t see how it would realistically play out. Sometimes big companies adopting to open standards can be a good thing.

          Reasonable people disagree of course.

    Just to be clear… Fuck the wealthy, fuck their social media, and fuck capitalism. What do most motherfuckers think about that?
