Haven't really thought about it too much just yet, but I want to put the question out there and read what you think : what if Facebook or Twitter started using #ActivityPub (and other protocols)? How would you feel about that? And in general, about big corporations / proprietary programs starting to interact with the Fediverse? Is there something in the AP specs that allows us to reliably identify where the activity comes from? To maybe block it? Would it further their monopoly, or the opposite?

But I'm not sure about the monopoly question. I imagine the big services would end up exerting undue influence on the protocols.
