I see no reason why, after the Fediverse has found a solid moral ground, it shouldn’t put this up to the test against Meta and try to win over some terretory with it. Actually, it seems like the most sensible thing to do. Because we want to bring these digital rights to as many people as possible, and for that, we need to partially federate with Meta.
Simple: kick out Meta. There is no solution in which you take in anything of theirs and they don’t take that a country mile to extinguish your shit. Or have we not learned ANYTHING from the era of Silicon Valley neofeudalists buying up everything with even an iota of soul and murdering it just to make a point?
Have any resources to journalistic articles that describe the way in which Meta implementing ActivityPub would be bad for the Fediverse?
Happy to highlight any !Privacy@lemmy.ml human rights concerns (right to privacy, right to share opinions, etc.) on !humanrights@lemmy.sdf.org
Is the evidence of your eyes with every new Meta acquisition not enough? Is what happened to XMPP not enough? The last twenty-four years of technological history is littered with these robber barons embracing, extending, and extinguishing everything that competes with them, and you’re gonna ask me for journalistic articles WRITTEN BY THE SAME FLUFFMEISTERS THAT SOFTBALL THESE ROBBER BARONS???
You’re a fuckin riot.
Whatsapp wasn’t ever federated. Was it?
Google did not yet close the doors with email. You can still use email and communicate with everyone and everyone has the right to choose another service, yet most tend to use google, even many people on apple devices that I know.
We need journalism, not vitriol, in !humanrights@lemmy.sdf.org <- I’m the moderator there. Just saying, if you see something in the news that speaks to the human right to privacy, we’ll spread the news if you cross-post it.
