Because Embrace/Extend/Extinguish is the corporate default, Meta is extremely likely to do that, and it's a really ugly situation once they start doing it.
The only way that *doesn't* happen is if Meta has a *lot* of respect for ActivityPub in a way that seems actively detrimental to their own corporate bottom line.
The odds do *not* seem high.

@TheActualBrian@mastodon.social @mahmoudajawad@mastodon.online @clifff@shakedown.social @Gargron@mastodon.social The other obvious point for us to object is when they add extra new features ("Extend") - where we can let Meta decide what development Mastodon et al have to do, and/or not add the features and be "worse". It's not a better point. But waiting longer than that is even worse. The least painful point to say "seriously, no" is at the "Embrace" stage.
