Who owns ActivityPub? No one.

    Not trying to be that guy, but ActivityPub is technically owned by the W3C. I agree with the sentiment of your post regarding the free nature of AP.

    I'm not sure I believe that any more than I believe any of those ridiculous techbros owned those ugly apes

    AP is just a protocol. Like HTTP. The IETF owns the HTTP protocol. Anyone is free to implement it, but they decide what HTTP is and how it evolves over time.

    Seems like there are an awful lot of tankies here though

    Sure but watch this

    Tankies suck! Stalin was a monster. China is an undemocratic oligarchy. Luigi Mangione should go shoot Kim Jong Un.

    See? That's why the fediverse is better.

    Yes that’s cool! But if we were in a community ruled by people who were to disagree with what you wrote you would be banned and censored the same. And some communities are too large and well in place for their userbase to be moved.

    If not tankies, then who rules this community? I'll put it to the test. My guess is that they'll only ban me if I say something truly horrible, not merely "people who disagree".

    Enshittification is all about next quarter, not reliable income. Eventually it gets so shitty that the users move.

    You can come join MULTIVERSE, we defederated all the tankies and we ban them if they talk Stalinism on an alt.
