The whole community won’t lie down, but a lot of the visible members will spread their legs. This is the nazi at the table situation, and for a project that was supposedly created to get away from the toxic model of facebook and twitter this is something like a parody. The only people who get something out if this are the people who are not us. Now maybe you are right, maybe the community will prevail. It’s just that it doesn’t have to shoot its own feet every two minutes in the dumbest fucking way possible
That’s sorta the curse of an open protocol is that anyone, even your enemies, can use them. I am no fan of Meta. I am a big fan of open standards, monkey’s paw and all. It is not a case of tolerating the intolerant. To restrict Meta out of using ActivityPub is against the spirit of open standards. The protocol is no longer open, and THEN we really have something to worry about.
Sure, but I would make an exception for meta because they are genocide enablers. Even if that’s too much I don’t understand people who keep saying it’s all fine, it’s great even.
