And by commercializing it they would destroy it, since they will be promoting content that generates most clicks and everything will become agresive.

They did say “X milions of accounts were ACTIVATED in one day”, not “created”.

Simple as that, of some instances federate with them I will not use them.

We will have block list like with ads, if necessary.

I don’t think that FB even knows that lemmy exist, problem is they are so big they will crush us by accident.

Even back than with XMPP, Google didn’t kill it intentionally. No one expected it will be smaller than before google used it. I remember watching empty list where all friends were. But it happened, and I never thought that Google wanted to kill XMPP.

Maybe they want to use Activity Pub so that they can influence further development of it. I don’t know procedure how w3c is makeing decisions and updates to it, but I doubt someone that is not using it can have influence.

I also think they don’t care about us, I doubt they even know we exist.

That doesn’t change that they would destroy us unintentionally. Like Vogons.

Additionally, even YouTube is trying to enforce ads more strongly and gyfcat is closing down.

People are looking for conspiracies, I like them too, but this was just a bubble waiting to burst.

It will be interesting to see what will come after.
