Comment on Tear Down Walls, and Build Bridges
rglullis@communick.news 1 year agoThe whole idea in the first place was to NOT be corporate
The idea is that the network should not be owned and controlled by a corporation, not that no corporation should ever participate in it.
Besides, how “corporate” is a startup with a few dozen developers working on a fully open source project?

We’re talking about Meta
No, we talking about Bluesky.
Dorsey’s baby
He’s moved on to Nostr. Also, Bluesky is open source and their work can be forked by anyone. You might disagree about whether it makes sense to work on another different protocol instead of trying to improve the ActivityPub ecosystem, but let’s please not get into mud-slinging and this stupid tribal mentality.

Honestly I see the fediverse as a massive opportunity for corporations.
If you’re Google, why not host a Google corporate instance where everything is authenticated as your own content, under your own URL, but you can still reshare outside content? You’ll never have the issues of unwanted or controversial content appearing with your brand. There’s no chance of a parody account pretending to be your customer service, and you won’t have to pay a protection fee for an authentic checkmark.
This is 10x more important for governments to do, as right now I can’t view official political discourse from my own government without giving my data to a private company.
