I can’t take Meta’s efforts at decentralization seriously while they don’t even have a usable API for posting to Facebook and Instagram. From Platformer:

Building a decentralized network could also give Meta the opportunity for its new app to interoperate with other social products — a previously unheard-of gesture from a company known for building some of the most lucrative walled gardens in the industry’s history.

@manton Can't wait the rebranding: “Meta becomes Fedi”

The irony of Zuckerberg and Dorsey, two of the biggest figures in centralized networks, trying to promote the fediverse. I’m sure their “explorations” are in good faith. 🙄

@manton "Decentralised as long as you remain inside our garden" is such an obvious ploy it wouldn't merit any attention, if it wasn't for all the gullible people falling for it.

The problem is not the monsters but those who lend them credence.

@manton this is definitely in the “I’ll believe it when I see it” folder.

@vruz @manton It's almost as multiple walled gardens, managed by the same multinational industrial management corporation.
