I don’t like Meta.
But here’s the problem: I like many people who use Meta services. My wife, for example, still uses Facebook. I’ve tried to get her to leave but she doesn’t want to be a guinea pig in my social media experiments.
Still, I’d like to receive her messages, and I’d like her to receive mine.
I don’t understand why Meta has to be an interloper. A message should be a message. When it comes to relationships, these monopolies should get out of the way.
If Meta is actually using ActivityPub, they’re at least ceding some control of message delivery outside their hands. Which, yes, is an improvement.
Meta is not trustworthy, and Meta shouldn’t be demanding trust.
However, I trust ActivityPub – so maybe trust in Meta doesn’t matter.
