@dnkrupinski I’m Big Corp and I have several hundred million “users.” I just added ActivityPub. I’m now the largest instance by several orders of magnitude. All your friends are on me. Your workmates are on me. Heck, even your child’s school is on me. I start making some rules. If your instance (of 1, 100, 1,000?…) doesn’t follow them, I defederate from you. You can’t reach any of those hundreds of millions of people – sorry, “users.” Your friends ask you: “why aren’t you on the fediverse?”
@aral @dnkrupinski Pretty much the Gmail playbook.
