Oh yeah, so sorry, just another Activitypub instance… nothing to see here. But it’s not. It’s Bluesky.
Hey, guess what, why do you think everyone also got upset when Threads wanted to federate? Maybe it could do with their shitty TOS and privacy policy.
And no, I don’t expect to opt-in to every fediverse instance. But, the whole spirit of it is that it’s run by independent admins with an overall commitment to protecting users. Big tech and people like Jack Dorsey give two shits about that. They see the fediverse as a new realm to mine data from. It may be a walled garden, but so what? Why is a walled garden so bad in this case?
People are being protective, because they have something good, for a change, and they don’t want it spoiled.
