Meta (Facebook) is testing an activity pub powered Twitter clone, big companies are knocking at the door.
I know, the difference here is that anyone on the fediverse is free to block them, there's an initiative already: https://fedidb.org/current-events/anti-meta-fedi-pact
You wouldn't be able to on a corporate platform.
Is activity pub GPL or mit?
ActivityPub is not software but is a open standard published by W3C, just like HTTP. Lemmy server software is AGPL3, which is GPL3 for network software.
Thank you, I didn't know that. So there is nothing potentially stopping meta from developing something closed source on top of it?
