The Big Social score so far: (mas.to)

The Big Social score so far:
- Twitter: burning
- Reddit: detonated a bomb under itself
- Meta: rumored to join #ActivityPub with a new app
- YouTube: videos were always 2nd to "native" ones on the other networks, but they could trivially open an #ActivityPub firehose (and maintain their preroll ads while doing so)
- rest of Google: never found organic success and don't have a bet in the game apart from wanting to index everything

No predictions here, just stating the obvious. @fediverse

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. No, we don't want that, and we definitely don't want them slurping Fediverse data!

Well you know, probably cant stop them from slurping the data but very important to use aliases. Because all they will ever see is the IP of the instance and the alias. Its not enough for them to connect the data to your real identity (if you are a facebook user).
