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.

Generally well reasoned and interesting, but, the only thing that defends against EEE is

ActivityPub enjoys the support and brand recognition of Mastodon.

Ima guess that Meta's support and brand recognition dwarfs Mastodon's, not re-assuring and rather self absorbed imo.

The problem is that Mastodon's brand is absolutely nothing and Eugene has been very resistant to popular features. He’s forgetting that the ways in which Mastodon are opinionated are not very popular even among Mastodon essentialists.
