      Do you think Facebook wants to get involved because they’re excited about making the fediverse a better place?

        No, they want to train AI models. They don’t give a shit about taking over ActivityPub.

          They don’t need to take it over if they have enough unwitting users / communities / instances associating with their content & users, perhaps. Maybe they don’t care about a smaller competitor if they can just scrape all the data anyway.
