Good point. It certainly had the Streisand effect last time.

Then you missed out on the controversy of the admins changing stuff they didn’t like in the past then!

This will be no different.

All those pesky staff, costing me money to produce value.

The Fediverse is a niche product too, frankly.

And the disruption is the problem. The whole point of EEE is to choke growth of competition.

How is ActivityPub and the Fediverse insulated from this?

I don’t think any fediverse user is concerned about their data being taken. The concern comes from the obvious threat of embrace-extend-extinguish.

Meta’s intent is irrelevant; EEE is basically a given of a large corporation because it helps maximise profit.
