Meta is talking to celebrities like Oprah and the Dalai Lama about being early users. ‘We’ve been hearing from creators and public figures who are interested in having a platform that is sanely run,’ a top exec told employees.
Using ActivityPub is an interesting twist I did not see coming. I could see myself trying this, despite my problems with Meta, especially because running social media for a church means I can’t really give up Facebook or Instagram and because people I know might actually sign up for it.
Not on Mastodon at the moment, but with the way Twitter has been heading it might be worth looking into, especially because getting on Lemmy helped me understand the Fediverse better.
I wonder if/how federation will go. I could see a lot of Mastodon/fediverse instances not federating content from the Meta instance on principle. Will Meta federate non-Meta content?
And if there is no federation, then what is the benefit of using ActivityPub? That’s my biggest question by far.
interested in having a platform that is sanely run
By the people whose other platform keeps inspiring genocides?
Can we fucking not?
If there using activitypub just imagine we might be able to fellow Oprah Winfrey from lemmy thats so weird to think about
