The network effect for #ActivityPub is gaining some serious momentum right now. As more services adopt the protocol, more people, more communities and more content are added to the network making it increasingly more valuable for everyone. This will only accelerate in the coming months as Threads, Wordpress, Tumblr, Flipboard and others federate.
We're still in early innings but there's no way to put this genie back in the bottle. The open social Web / the #Fediverse is going to be huge.
@mike I wish you were right, but experience shows me that capitalism will surely find a way to fuck all of this up. Fediverse will peak and then onto the Next Big Thing
@IanAtCambio maybe. there are more defense mechanisms this time around.
@mike That's what John Connor said Skynet... Enshittification is inevitable. Man, I sound so jaded.
@IanAtCambio hah! If only John Connor knew he could just fire the CEO of OpenAI.
