  • This is just such a stupid Idea.
    Facebook (and anyone else!) already can “mine” the fediverse for data.
    it’s open.
    that’s the point.

    Will Facebook suddenly become the largest player in the fediverse, sure.
    Should that make one wary, also, sure.

    But why would we want to discourage them?
    Better they also use ActivityPub than not!
    if the need arises, it can be blocked, if not, great.

    I’d love it if Whatsapp moved to XMPP and I could use different Apps to communicate with friends on there for example.

    /e: we should be paranoid if facebook proposes changes to the protocol.
    I think, there must be decent people working at facebook, so while “we” should be paranoid, we should also be willing to listen.
