I feel very strong against ActivityPub "bridging" with any corporate controlled systems.
I'm not on Twitterdumb or Fakebook and I sure as hell don't want to be. THAT is why I'm here. I briefly thought about connecting with them and then I visited them again. Those corporations are only going to mine ActivityPub for profit.
I'm an admin for #Beamship, all completely funded out of pocket. Why the hell do I want to pay for advertising from them? Why do I want to see the hate cesspool here?

We have donation buttons but very rarely does anyone send anything.
99.9% of our cost is working small jobs here and there. I think our network admin will agree with me when I say: Our services will ALWAYS be free. And as a way to introduce our team:
