I find @louis's take on how #Facebook/#Meta may approach the Fediverse to be highly likely: https://emacs.ch/@louis/1105927444960854271. use a divide and conquer approach by proposing to the biggest instances to federate with them by providing money if they do2. follow up with the second and third steps of #EEE (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish) more efficiently thanks to the first moveI hope big instance admins are aware of this issue (this was emphasized from the start as a fragile network dynamics).#FediPact

@empiricism @tfardet @louis I thin Meta is more intelligent... if they do something like that no one would accept and that would be contraproductive for their goals, whateber they are.

@kjr @empiricism @louis that remains to be seen (especially since some big instances are run by companies), but I sure hope you're right

@tfardetI was joking (Apologise if 😬 didn't come across as sarcasm).l would have licenced ActivityPub, Mastodon, etc, with a "for non-commercial purposes only".If the corporate sector become more interested in Mastodon (due to the population numbers on the network), l would expect they'd be a "business as usual" Fediverse (e.g., corporate greed being the primary motive. E.g., advertising & more implicit forms of information control) & the Fediverse that blocked Corporate@kjr @louis

@empiricism @tfardet @louis License ActivityPub? Who can license it and with which rights? It is an open protocol.

@kjr @tfardet @louis "I would of" implied a past tense (if it was up to me)."Who can license it and with which rights?"In the past tense, Mastodon software developers could have licensed their work so that it would have legally only been developed and used for non-commercial purposes. "It is an open protocol"Do you mean open source? That means people can read the code and develop it. A license regulates what it can be developed & used for.https://creativecommons.org/about/cclicenses/.

@empiricism @tfardet @louis but... ActivityPub is not a creation of Mastodon, is older, it is a W3 protocol, like HTML, etc.Mastodon just uses it.https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/And the software of Mastodon is just a sofware which supports ActivityPub, like Lemmy, Calkey, Kbin and a lot others. Eben I don't think that Meta will open Mastodon instances, they will use their own software for it.
