Agreed that we don't know what if anything actually #Meta's going to do with #P92 (@J12t makes some great points) but it will be #SurveillanceCapitalism because that's who they are. And if the biggest instance in #Fediverse is a surveillance capitalism site, then the fediverse will likely (and justifiably) be seen as a surveillance capitalism network.
@ophiocephalic #meta wonât care whether they are #fediblock d or not. They do this for market positioning reasons vis-a-vis wanting to appear as the good guys wrt Twitter, not to actually interoperate with anybody.

Meta is planning to implement ActivityPub? Not so fast IMHO.

No, you can't license my cat picture to Elon, Jack and Mark.
When you post on #Bluesky, #Twitter or #Meta you agree to grant them a very broad perpetual license to the content, including the right to sublicense. On Mastodon, most instances do not take a license. Any bridge that takes content from Mastodon and, without permission, puts that content on one of these platforms is violating that user's #copyright to the content. You can not #license content which you do not own.
Look what the waves have done, now imagine them changing all that is solid much quicker than the in the past...

There is obvious concern growing about the potential impact of #Meta joining the fediverse, but especially so in the face of the ruling, seeing them fined a record $1.3bn.
Can they be trusted to handle data correctly when it comes to their new #ActivityPub "Barcelona" app? Does the fediverse really need Big Tech involved? I have laid out my concerns regarding Meta-owned services federating, and my conclusions might surprise you.

My point was just that itâs misleading to say #Meta will only be tracking people who use their app. Just like with Gab, with the #ActivityPub protocol and vanilla Mastodonâs implementation, being on a site that federates with them is likely to give them access to your data.
@rolle
So, open message: if you're from #Meta and you are working on this #P92 service, you should contact the #W3C #SocialCG to work on compatibility with #ActivityPub.
We're excited about your project and we're here to help.
Meta joining the Fediverse by supporting ActivityPub will be a positive step in supporting their user's opportunity to see alternatives in social networking.
If Facebook and Instagram were to join the Fediverse and you could follow users from that world from your instance, would you do it?
Boosts appreciated. I'd like to know the current consensus of the Fediverse.

I think you are a bit in the woods here. That would not be a perfect future. Or a very realistic one. Or any type of goal either.
Maybe some of us don't need the big platforms. Some of us left Facebook for a reason. Some of us don't want those people here. That's a choice and a rightful one. Not short slightness. Not everyone needs to have their own servers, but not everyone should either.
We're good as is. No reason to embrace the big tech all over again. #Meta #Facebook #Fediverse
Meta is now selling your Whats App number to âbusiness partnersâ to send you ads for things like crypto.
The Zuckerberg/Musk/Bezos enshitification of the internet continues.
Here is a great read about how enshitification is destroying the internet and why regulation is needed.

Whilst I am worried they will try the old âembrace, extend, extinguishâ plan, I must admit Iâm quite excited for #Meta to join their apps into the #Fediverse.
An extra 2bn people to talk to on here! And the ones who really enjoy it will find out they can switch to #mastodon or #calckey or one of the others for a similar experience but with no ads and better moderation. Nice!

This is Instagramâs new Twitter competitor
A leaked marketing slide from Lia Haberman gives us our first look at Instagramâs upcoming âtext-basedâ app thatâs supposed to take on Twitter.Jay Peters (The Verge)
If memes, videos, and pictures can't be exchanged between Zuck's micro-blogging software and other established software such as Mastodon, calckey, and pleroma I don't really see the impact. I don't see many people from the fediverse side falling for the bait and giving up all that fedi freedom. This will feel to me as if Mark Zuckerberg's corporation squabbled whatever opportunity they had in their continued quest to monopolize an already fraught venture of monetizing people's social interactions online.
I think it might actually be an opportunity for the fediverse to recruit. One of the biggest draws of fedi I think is the freedom. We moderate ourselves. One can, also, choose whatever software(s), and features they contain, for one's needs here.
Meta's new decentralized social media platform, Barcelona, may potentially become part of ActivityPub. That means they will probably be part of our fediverse.
Regardless of one's opinion on Meta, I would argue that this is a positive direction.
Users can still choose their own instances. This will only contribute to more PR around our well-implemented decentralized ecosystem.

This is Instagramâs new Twitter competitor
A leaked marketing slide from Lia Haberman gives us our first look at Instagramâs upcoming âtext-basedâ app thatâs supposed to take on Twitter.Jay Peters (The Verge)
#Barcelona, #Meta's Twitter competitor, will be ready by summer.
And lest you believe #ActivityPub integration was just some rumour, think again. In a slide, Meta confirms that Barcelona will indeed be decentralized and will be compatible with Mastodon.
Everyone who thought that AT protocol would win over ActivityPub, and that #Bluesky would kill Mastodon just because a few influencers joined doesn't understand the sheer marketing power and pull that Meta has at its disposal.
But believe me, I'm not exactly cheering on Meta here. Generally, where Meta goes, shenanigans. I simply don't think Meta is capable of releasing a product without dark patterns.
Nevertheless, I don't think the Fediverse is even close to preparing for what will happen once Barcelona starts federating.
We should all be taking Barcelona very seriously.
