       How long until Google and Microsoft launch their own Fediverse instances and give people one-click opt-in to a Mastodon-like experience?If ActivityPub is basically an email-like protocol, then hosting someone's Fediverse identity is pretty similar to giving them an email account, right?Any reason to think this is a bad idea for them (other than the moderation problem)? #mastodon #fediverse #activitypub

       @acjay Moderation and legal problems are not small, but I think the likes of Google could handle them.Their bigger problem might be how much of the Fediverse would react immediately or eventually to defederate them. Maybe they won't care, so long as their own users can talk to each other, but they won't be able to offer "access to the Fediverse" as simple as that.

       @kyleha @acjay QOTO would federate. The number of users on Corporate-todon would probably quickly surpass the rest of the fediverse. A lot of the big names would probably leave twitter for Corporate-todon....and maybe a lot of the Twitter refugees would follow.
