Just take a moment to think about the gazillions websites across the planet containing embedded tweets or Twitter lists, that since today are broken or display a big blue “view on Twitter” button instead of the tweet.
How wrong is that?

The birdsite : how it’s going versus what’s coming to hunt the Mollusk nights.
The Fediverse will thrive just fine, people will take control the way they want but one thing is very clear, #Meta is coming to Mwitter self-suicide.

And they want to define and own it.

What if HackerNews got into the ActivityPub bandwagon ?
