1. as far as company is concerned: I wasn't singling out any particular company (e.g Meta/Instagram/Threads)
2. as far as contribution is concerned: I was talking about either or, not both. It's fine if no one contributes financially.
That said, if I think about it, perhaps code contribution isn't a requirement either. Just tell us how to federate with you (e.g. if you have some JSON-LD extension, tell us how to make sense of it)
3. regarding features that can't be federated: you're right. I didn't think it through that one properly
I guess my gripe is people who sell decentralization, but just as a marketing gimmick.
Like it's fine if ActivityPub is an afterthought to explore the viability of federation, but don't tell us that you are decentralizing, when really, it was just an experiment to capture a larger market.
