Interoperability was the purpose of activitypub. I’m not oppossed to Meta , Tumblr and wordpress joining the fediverse.
As long as I can use an open source community platform.

This is just getting too big too fast.

Lots of things change when you grow too fast, one of them is that any stupid failure will be found and exploited.
The project will mature and get a better security process, that has nothing to do with politics.

Reddit chose to be non profitable in order to kill off all internet forums.

It’s reddit that’s changing the terms, not mods acting up.

Use alts, switch accouts after 1 year or 1000 posts.
As a person you evolve, the shit you said 10 years ago does not represent you right now.

our priorities are not “fediverse first” or “ActivityPub first”, they’re Beehaw first.

Ok, that’s where I’m in another camp, and that’s ok, we can disagree on goals.

How can we promote open standards like activitypub while blocking anone else entry.

On meta this is difficult, any Non disclosure Agreement is evil, Everything has to be in the open. and considering the history of FB/meta i’m verry sceptical. But still, open standards, open discussion , i am a bit of an optimist.

I’m not shure, there are a few good arguments against plain blocking of Meta.

This article is mostly against federating
https://privacy.thenexus.today/should-the-fediverse-welcome-surveillance-capitalism/

it does highlight contra’s:

John Gruber describes the Anti-Meta Pact as “petty and deliberately insular” and suggests that the whole point of ActivityPub is to turn social networking into something more akin to email, which he describes as "truly open."1

Tristan Louis says "The anti-Meta #Fedipact can only achieve one thing: make sure that #ActivityPub loses to the Bluesky protocol."2

Dan Gillmor suggests that “preemptively blocking them – and the people already using them – from your instance guarantees less relevance for the fediverse.”

So many details, how trivial is a patent?
how long?
can you patent discoveries like genes?

Reddit killed internet fora. By being easier and cheaper, while making no profit.

If they suddenly do want to make profit?
The terms change, there are alternatives.

Gdpr applies to servers within the EU, or for servers with EU clients. You can demand that they delete and stop transmitting data.

But you accept to transmit data all over the world, in the end that data could end up somewhere outside of the EU without any direct EU customers. Then all bounds are gone.

--
Do worry about GDPR in conforming to deletion requests, but only your own data, not anything you transmitted.

Mastodon’s privacy issues are just the same as the rest of the fediverse/threadiverse.

With federation there is more openness, transparency and accountability. Take care of your privacy, use alts.
