So much talk, nothing to back it up. Blatant PR move.

This is good news. I want to use this post to shout out Heroic launcher.

A small team of devs (GitHub says 150 contributors, but likely only a small percentage of that consistently works on it), made a free, open-source launcher that is VASTLY better than Epic’s piece of shit.

I mean, for real, this multi-billion dollar company can’t even properly make a basic-ass piece of software. For over three years it has been a laggy mess that bombards the bottom right of my screen with ads. No significant changes or updates that have made the launcher more usable. I deadass pirate the games epic has given me for free so I don’t have to deal with their launcher.

That was a good read, totally changed my position. Thank you.

Can someone explain to me why people are so violently opposed to this?

If Threads blows up, and ActivityPub is integrated, you’ll have access to all of it through any federated instance. No need to let Meta sap all your data to view it or communicate with it’s users. Meta can’t kill ActivityPub or force us onto Threads, just abandon it and leave us back where we are today. If you don’t like the Meta users, just make or join an instance that isn’t federated.

Anyone can scrape the metaverse data and use it for whatever, Meta included. Them implementing ActivityPub doesn’t change anything about that.

Look I don’t like Meta as much as the next guy, but this all just seems like illogical gatekeeping

Edit: I understand now, see: XMPP and Google. Good article someone replied to me with, down below.
