You should look into the story of XMPP and how it got killed by Google. The situation is pretty much identical to what Facebook is doing here, and the ending will likely be the same: once Meta gets enough users, they'll subtly break federation with ActivityPub, and everyone will just move to Threads because that's where all the content is. So, in the end, we end up with just another centralized app owned by a tech giant.
