Facebook/Meta starts talking about the "Extend" phase of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish as predicted:
"“You could imagine an extension to the protocol eventually — of saying like, ‘I want to support micropayments,’ or … like, ‘hey, feel free to show me ads, if that supports you.’ Kind of like a way for you to self-label or self-opt-in. That would be great,”
yes and it will happen.
the big tech standard bodies are theirs anyway and it is what fediverse embraces.
if an instqnce doesnt, it left the generally accepted consensus mechanism i suppose.
whata your take on defending against this?
@serapath Have a strong standard that doesn't allow for such extensions. I've been saying that since many years.

But even if you had a strong standard.
Isnt the point that https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main still collaborates with W3C?
Hope it stays independent enough and will be able to protect against these kinds of attacks 
@serapath @jwildeboer FEP process doesn't prevent people from extending the protocol, in fact it has the opposite goal. But it protects Fediverse by decentralizing standards development. It doesn't dictate what is a standard and what is not, instead developers decide for themselves which FEPs they want to implement, and eventually some FEPs may become de-facto standards
@silverpill @jwildeboer i am mich in favor of everything becoming a de-facto standard.
if works and we dont need anything else.
it just means, the ppl have voted by adoption.
thats enough. no need for some self proclaimed authorities
