@Mastodon

Must be some faux schadenfreude from conservatives over this ? After no federating with GAB and years of their whacky stuff being banned from twitter ? and I am not equating religious fascists etal with Mastodon but just mindful of being aware of their state of euphoria in seeing stuff like this occur, they think this is a good thing.

I am in a few of the nuttier conspiracy Telegram groups as they get pushed further underground (know thine enemy) and reading their stuff is very ... confusing :) GAB itself is ... literally holy hell.

Well, let's hope your generous vision is better then my vision, which will have them use Activity Pub to hook people into their closed garden and keep them there.

They're literally about how to grow and make more money off people, and then keep them... anything they do should be seen through that lens. It's why they are listed on the NASDAQ and they are legally required to nake as much money as they can (legally, ethics or morals has nothing to do with it) for thier share holders or they risk being sued by them.

If they pull it off it, this will be as big a debacle as FB itself is.
