    DING DING DING. Here’s Facebook’s playbook:

    1. Create close sourced ActivityPub implementation to federate with mastodon/lemmy and gain users.
    2. Offer better experience than competition via exclusive features, reliability, more communities, etc.
    3. Once enough users have been obtained, completely defederate from fediverse.

      This is absolutely a bad outcome and I hope the pact prevents this from playing out.
      However, I feel kind of ok with losing the subset of users that would accept and use a Facebook implementation of the fediverse. It directly defeats the purpose, regardless of how much better the UI/UX may be, and shows they didn’t understand it in the first place.
