Just a reminder that Twitter perceives the Fediverse as a threat, and their project Blue Sky is actively spreading FUD about ActivityPub on their website. https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/3-6-2022-a-self-authenticating-social-protocol
Since this blog post was released, I've seen blue checks repeat these talking points.
I've seen them write, "The Fediverse could disappear tomorrow!"—as if one site has more persistence than thousands.
Or that if one instance crashes, the whole Fediverse follows.
It's all FUD, of course—a way to keep people on Twitter.
