Billionaire-proof open social media is now mission-critical infrastructure for the future of democracy.
@ntnsndr
The fediverse has nothing to be smug about so long as (parts of) it continue to collude with the Zuckerberg entity. That is the entryist project for an anti-democracy billionaire to control this network. Meta has been afforded deep access into the development process of ActivityPub, and the fedi as a whole has failed to contain and reject the threat. Until and unless that happens, the fediverse (as a distinct AP-based construct at least) will not be the vehicle to fulfill this mission
@ophiocephalic @ntnsndr The Fediverse is whatever you want it to be, open or closed. My instance has blocked all access to threads and even Bluesky. I like it that way.
@adrianmorales
Cheers to your blocking policy; and yes, there is a part of the fediverse standing against the threat!
Yeah, the Free Fediverse, anti-Meta FediPact, and instances with blocking policies like the ones @adrianmorales all have an explicit goal of being billionaire resistent.
And totally agree: with Meta having so much influence over the AP standard it's proof by example that any AP-centric construct is not billionaire-resistant.
@thenexusofprivacy @adrianmorales @ophiocephalic @ntnsndr
What influence does Meta has over AP? Where can we check that?
@nemesis
Excuse the self-promotion, but you can have a look at some posts on that subject which are linked at the top of my feed under the heading "Meta and its collaborators"
