Not sure I agree with all of his points, but it’s a start that we’re at least publicly acknowledging this as the end of an era (for good IMO)

Unless they pull an EEE. Which they absolutely would.
The fediverse admins all over would need to be vigilant and refuse Facebook access to the fediverse, otherwise we’ll get extinguished, just like XMPP
Agreed. Defederate Facebook as you would any toxic instance.
That’s not a realistic proposal if Facebook volunteers dev resources to improve and support ActivityPub and we grow to rely on that. In the same way that Google co-opted the W3C to now just accept Chrome as the default, I can see something similar happen if Threads really kicks off and has a ton of effort put into it.
It’s a lot more grey than you’d expect given the absurd resources that nation states have compiled to try and usurp Google’s dominance, but all the same I’d rather not have the internet rely on something made by a publicly traded company that cuts projects on a whim.
