Meta plans on joining the fediverse – the responses – The Fediverse Report -

This week, news got out that Meta is making a plan to build a decentralized text-based social network. It would be a competitor to Twitter that uses ActivityPub, and would thus be part of the fediverse. The news broke on the website MoneyControl, who saw a copy of a product brief. A few hours later, the news got confirmed by Meta to the newsletter Platformer. Both articles have all the details and the best analysis, so if you want to get in-depth information check those out. The short summary is as follows
