I really hope this is a complete failure, like Meta itself.

    Meta plans to work with ActivityPub, a vendor that already partners with Mastodon and is currently working on a deal with Tumblr. The agreement isn’t finalized yet, but has been referenced in press releases announcing Threads.

    Lol. The author of this article is braindead and has no Idea what he’s writing about. ActivityPub is an open standard not a vendor. There can’t be an agreement because there’s no one to agree with. All they will do is implement the standard

        This is brilliant in both it’s brevity and accuracy; and could be borrowed to describe their coverage of bitcoin when it first started to bubble.

      It’s Fortune. What do you expect? They all think in capitalism, and the very concept of OSS is alien in their mind.

      Exactly. Vendor my arse, it’s an open standard.

      Does Fortune think Linux also partnered with RedHat, Ubuntu, Apple, Windows and everybody else who’s every borrowed from/made use of/implemented an open standard??
