I really hope this is a complete failure, like Meta itself.

    It’s FOSS. Meta is free to spin off their own version of ActivityPub, but we don’t have to join them. The entire point of federalised instances is to allow competition like this. If Lemmy devs are dropping the ball then other developers will compete for a better user experience. Competition rocks and I’m looking forward to it.

      Nah, I’m fully aware of what FOSS is and does - but nothing in this entropic universe is permanent.

      FOSS has gone private before (RedHat, etc) due to profit motive. I’m not sure I could resist several million dollars to keep it that way.
