Some guy posted this link on lemmy in a thread about instagram adopting ActivityPub standards, i.e. their new platform speaking the feddi lingo and being able to x-post and share feeds, comments, users, pm's, etc.
The article is about the times a similar approach has been attempted by various tech giants, but he says it's a ruse to stop out the competition.
What do you guys think? I'm personally very OK with meta staying in their meta world and it's looking like a bad omen that mastadon's immediate, knee-jerk impulse reaction isn't to defederate.
Anyway the strategy seems to be: As soon as potential competition rises above sea-level, invite the crew on-board and burn their ship down. I'm also curious if you guys have whitnessed this strategy outside of big tech.
edit: oh, and this was linked here once before, a few weeks back when the article was first posted, here's the link to that thread.
I'm going to remove this since it was recently posted, you can bump the previous version back up with a comment if you've got something new to contribute to the discussion there.
