Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I'm not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.

I’m admittedly unfamiliar with Eugene, so was using the title listed in the blog post.

He was talking to Meta before they announced Threads and he signed an NDA. I strongly agree with @CCL@links.hackliberty.org's opinion that the recent popularity Mastodon has enjoyed has gone to his head.

Put plainly, I don't trust him at all.

You don't have to. He might have developed Mastodon but it's all open source, and he certainly doesn't "own" ActivityPub.

yeah, I wasn't referring to you, but to the author of the article.
