I think there’s a chance meta or another big company will attempt to take over. This could be by creating a new client or library that everyone starts using and then suddenly make breaking changes that aren’t part of the official activitypub protocol.

Google used to use XMMP for it’s chat but eventually it was no longer compatible with 3rd party servers.

No idea what will happen, just don’t get too complacent. Being decentralized now doesn’t mean as much if a couple giant entities end up owning 90% of the network.
