    There’s nothing inherently confusing about the protocol. It just needs UX improvements. Meta has a few billion in product research and experience they could use to improve the protocol immensely.

        All good points. My prediction is that if Meta steps into the ActivityPub space (and I think they will, at least as a trial), they’ll spool up their own instance and direct all traffic there. The experience will be smooth and painless. SSO for their Meta login, clear community delineation, hyperlinks all working as expected, and superb discovery. All the things we’re lacking right now. Of course, I don’t want Meta to own this entire protocol, so I hope they federate widely, and the Lemmy and Kbin devs can piggyback off the Meta UX designs.

            If they don’t want to federate, what would be the USP? They might as well continue what they’re doing with Facebook.

            I agree they’ll have some moderation issues. I suspect they’ll just make community owners responsible and leave the option of federated subscriptions up to them. It might require some addiction work on the protocol though.
