@itchy_lizard @Bicyclejohn Is #Meta joining the #Fediverse proof that they couldn't beat us?

In my opinion it is almost the opposite.

"Meta opted to use the open, decentralized social networking protocol ActivityPub(Opens in a new window) for this project, which is already used by Mastodon. That doesn't guarantee interoperability between the two competing services, but could certainly make it easier for Mastodon accounts to migrate to Project 92. The reverse is also possible, but it seems unlikely Meta would want to make it easy for accounts to migrate away from its ecosystem."
