  Are you planning to pay for the extra bandwith to deal with all the additional traffic?

  Meta will.

  And then when they own the servers amd all the traffic, lemmy will be quietly murdered.

  Quietly, because they'll control the traffic, and therefore the narrative

    That’s just…not how any of this works.

      Today no.

      Come make your instance on Meta™ it’s free™!! Its fast! It’s yours!!

      Then later they’ll wreck havoc on our small servers making them slow and unreliable, making their servers even more interesting for people. And so on.

      And that’s just one way among lots of ways.

        I love that your fear is they will be successful and the lemmy devs and admins don’t have their shit together or a plan to handle anything but a small niche headcount.

  All activity pub needed to do was create a user rights guidelines that prevents profiting off the data. Meta wouldn’t have touched the Fediverse with the 10-foot pole, if that were the case.

    Lololol and what legal mechanism are you going to use to enforce that?

    ActivityPub is a protocol, not a fucking organization. It literally has no agency.

      You can licence a protocol

        ActivityPub can’t license anything. When you identify actual human beings in this conversation, perhaps you might have a point. So far you don’t.

  Exactly. It’s basically pen testing.

  People have been writing about this ad nauseum. It’s the embrace, extend, extinguish strategy. Join fediverse, extend the spec with so that not all clients are compatible with all features, repeat as necessary until everyone is using your client, finally drop compatibility with other clients.

  My sweet summer child.

  With a network that big, they have to be very careful, and really try, if they don’t want our servers to just go kaboom.

  Or we just defederate from any of those attempts.
