Agree. Either intentional misdirection, or the most sloppy text-writing to just create some filler content.

As for where the money is, idk how corporate world looks upon the concepts behind fedi. Maybe they are starting to get a hunch of where the money could be, and this is part of the play to get it out.

There are the DSA/DMA regulations by EC that force consideration of interoperability. And there are 'hotshot' projects with big names behind them (Jack), etc

Just this morning I saw something similarly bad, or worse even. I don't have a good source yet, but a most vicious corporate attack on FOSS related to EU funding. Will have to learn more, before responding further.

@humanetech @keith @NGIZero @EC_NGI

if i were to speculate i'd think they mentioned it because it's too big to ignore but they don't actually desire for the fediverse to succeed

because fedi has kinda grown into a thorn against big money social media, having already proven itself to work just fine without the big money, and having grown to where it is out of pocket scale money for servers and domains

which isn't desirable to vulture capitalists that want the next big thing to be something they can milk money from and leave to wilt away when it stops growing

but decentralization has gained too much traction already, so if i had to guess I'd expect to see attempts to co-opt decentralisation, and snuff out what we already have in favor of similar looking platforms tweaked to be more favorable to money

(tbh i think crypto was already an attempt at this, noting crypto social media, but it turned out people don't actually want social media built entirely around money)
