    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?

      Supporting AP could mean that they support AP as a part of a larger, more corporate friendly protocol. Or support AP among other protocols.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if their vision is a separate Meta decentralised network where user nodes are more vassals than independent and they use AP to allow connection in but not out.
