My main concern with this is I don’t know how well activity pub can scale, and we’ve already seen various interop problems between different types of platforms. And if email is any indication, once activitypub gets popular it will NEVER GO AWAY and all the developers will hate it.
I was excited to see this article written on the verge but then I read it. Seems like they are only interested in what the fediverse can do now that Threads is getting in and sticking their foot in the door. It’s likely they needed Meta as a corporation to validate federation as something with real potential. We need to be highly critical about the entities who just see this as another way to make money off our data
Vergecast people and @davidpierce@mastodon.social who wrote this piece have been on board with Activity Pub for much longer than Threads has even been a thing.

It feels like the fediverse can be the true Web 3.0.

I do wonder if they know about Lemmy though :)
