Why isn’t anyone talking about this? It looks like Meta wants to compete with Twitter with a new Instagram microblogging app which will probably be compatible with Mastodon
Key Point of the article:
*“Soon, our app will be compatible with certain other apps like Mastodon,” Instagram’s slide says. “Users on these other apps will be able to search for, follow and interact with your profile and content if you’re public, or if you’re private and approve them as followers.” *
As far as I’ve understood, it’s a matter of embracing a new technological “trend” and lowering the management and maintenance costs so it’s almost certain that some kind of self-hosting option will be available. I just hope it’s not going to work like Bluesky which is not actually decentralized and always relies to the Bluesky infrastructure
