    I doubt they would be willing to let people host and control their own versions of federated facebook, and I’m wondering then what would make it “decentralized” exactly. Are they just using decentralized as a buzz word because they are using ActivityPub?

      Yeah I’d love to see some more concrete info on what they mean by decentralized.

      A bunch of people paying their own server costs to host their own mini facebook servers that they have to moderate and that show them ads? Lol. Horrifying.

      But it seems like they just mean that it will be able to communicate with other decentralized networks, not that it is decentralized itself.
