    I’m gonna throw this out there:

    If Meta is going to join the fediverse (or implement something with activitypub) there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop them.

    It’s an open protocol. They can use it.

    The only thing we can do is force them to follow the AGPL and/or fork the code if they get crazy with change requests.
