@N33R@shibao@Moon@vriska Facebook joining AP makes no sense whatsoever considering how their platform work. It will be a new tab and nobody will use it
If anything, it will be a new attempt at owning the web. It can't be decentralized, they'll never allow that, but they can have a closed fediverse within their own servers. That'd make the most sense I think
@vriska yeah you're right I think but I think it was just publishing the streams or something.
This is bad business for them because they lock you into their website so they can track you, they can't do that if they can talk both directions with a decentralized network
@shibao@Moon tumblr adding AP would actaully be awesome because they're far too famously incompetent to even think of malicious things to do with it, we'll just have a bunch of new insane friends
@coolboymew@vriska@shibao@Moon@N33R@whiteline @ammike@qoto.org These tech giants mainly profit on services provided to each other - peer mega enterprise orgs. None of them want to wrangle the anons for real community culture because they'd get wrapped up in tricky regime politics.
@coolboymew I keep seeing this brought up and I'm not sure what any big tech company would get out of federating with the Mastodon Network™. They have their walled garden and that's exactly what they want, not wrangling a bunch of anons that mostly hate them anyway.
