That’s it. It’s just the fastest springboard this garbage company had to get yet another social media platform out the door when they sensed blood in the water.

Edit: This is a response to people who think FB users will somehow discover the fediverse and be converted by this action. They won’t.

Or that FB has noble goals in choosing AP or will somehow be forced to be better. They won’t.

It’s just good software.

    Yeah, just like big companies like Google use email protocols with Gmail. It’s actually good for adoption. The alternative is that FB uses its own proprietary and competing protocol, making everything more fragmented.

      What it sounds like is that we need other big players so that one of them can’t taint the protocol with proprietary extensions
