Huh, if only there was an example of Meta existing on a decentralized platform where I could choose to visit them and interact with their stuff but I didn't have to.
Oh huh, would you look at that, turns out this little decentralized network called the worldwide web has been running it this whole time!
You don't have to if they visit you themselves
But in the scenario of lemmy / mastodon, you only ever interact with your chosen frontend / instance and it only communivates to facebook through activitypub not through the general web standards. Even if facebook were to just embed a bunch of js code as an activitypub text feed, your chosen instance would still have to choose whether or not to render it by default, or to give you the option, or to block it entirely.
It’s like people don’t want to email people with Gmail addresses because Google at some point killed off XMPP*, in fearing that email altogether would be killed off.
That’s a pretty good example actually. React has been a boon to webdev imo, and I love using it. Yarn too.
Don't forget the less sexy stuff like watchman
