While you may dismiss Zuckerberg as delusional, he’s shown a talent for using others’ ideas and making them profitable under Facebook. The success of Instagram and WhatsApp is proof. Google+ is nowhere to be seen anymore.
As for Mastodon, underestimating Meta’s potential threat, particularly federating with Mastodon (this can be seen as “easy hosting” of something like Mastodon), might be a mistake. Even without originality, they have the resources to cause significant disruption.
