The exchange is about Meta’s upcoming ActivityPub-enabled network Threads. Meta is calling for a meeting, his response is priceless!

    Quoting Chris Trottier here:

    Okay, if your community can’t survive Meta using ActivityPub, then it doesn’t deserve to exist.

    I disagree with him as strongly as possible. That view is to the point of abhorrent. The problem at the core is that he and everybody in the “let’s allow Meta in” group is that they see it as this big machine everybody should be using, while the rest of us care so much less about that than about the communities that have formed and have been slowly growing here, that are about to be strip-mined by Meta as they do EEE.

    We do NOT need to wait and see, we have years of experience of Meta’s modus operandi, and the communities of the Fediverse just cannot survive their invasion. And we don’t want that!
