    It keeps things open to competition. It prevents situations like we saw with Reddit, where single organizations are able to gatekeep content and force everyone to use their portals to access it.

      meta is a closed discourse and privately owned, so is reddit. This is user and volunteer run, why would you expose the user and volunteer ran place to closed and greedy companies to do that here?

        The whole point of this thread is that Meta is opening up by implementing AcitivtyPub support, people are responding with hostility towards that, and as part of their justification for that hostility they’re accusing Meta of being closed.

        This is insane.

            Truly a dizzying series of logical leaps.

            No, I am not an employee of Meta or any of its subsidiaries. Even though I’m not 100% opposed to everything they ever do. Do you think there’s no possibility of nuance on a subject like this, anyone who doesn’t completely hate Meta and oppose all of their actions must be secretly working for them?

              The hard time I’m warning you of, has just begun. Have fun with your nuance when meta craps all over you one way or another. Have a nice holiday, fr.
