Interesting. Twitter early kicked open standards in the nuts, so I understand everyone who's sceptical to say the least. But if they manage to detangle that ugly mess that is the Fediverse this could be a real and good step into the right direction.

No one should trust them to do it without making it favorable to them and their business model. Microsoft was just the first to get caught and punished for embracing, extending, and extinguishing in the new century. The pattern is as old as time.
