But we already have tacos.If you say "Tacos are coming soon". And we already have tacos. I'd say "What do you mean? Tacos are already here. Do we need more tacos?"
ActivityPub isn't the only way to federate.Matrix is federating the same way email does. Anyone can spin up their own server. And if they want anyone can spin up their own software. That's what federation is. Different servers agreeing on how to communicate with each other.
First: your comment appears to be a reply to them not me. I think that's where the confusion came from.
Second: You seem to be conflating listening to ideas with supporting them.
Third: Blocking places with bad ideas doesn't silence the people there or eliminate their ideas. It contributes to their isolation and echo chamber. Often more then yours. You in fact end up helping make them worse. Which of course is worse for everyone.
Building an echo chamber isn't something done intentionally. Well... Sometimes it is.It's most often created by avoiding people you find annoying, toxic, etc. As long as you keep up that reasoning you eventually only interact with people who mostly agree with you. You're blinding yourself to counter opinions. The definition of an echo chamber.
While I don't doubt many athletes are being quite active.I'd also believe it's a joke at this point for them to all take as many as they can no matter if they intend to use them or not.
People make lots of online buisness that grow just fine.
It's just when people get used to a kind of thing being free, they feel like its impossible or stupid to pay for it. Even when those same people complain about how enshittification ruins everything, they refuse to directly pay instead.
ActivityPub is only one of a number of federated protocols.One notably unsuited to instant messaging.
