Looks like they smell blood in the water with Twitter's downward spiral.

Meta’s text-based platform will be decentralized and interoperable with Mastodon, which is built on the ActivityPub protocol.

That's what you have to look out for. They will exploit anything they can get their hands on if they think there is money to be made.

How exactly is Meta’s new platform going to work? It’s still confusing me a bit.

once enough people are in they defederate from everything and then immediately start enshittifying until it becomes yet another big tech platform

They probably won't even have to defederate. Become big enough that you can dictate the standards of federation in a way that profits you.
