A second text-based content app that will support ActivityPub is purportedly being developed by Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. Mastodon and other decentralized applications that compete with Twitter are powered by ActivityPub, a decentralized social networking platform.
According to a TechCrunch article, the new app, code-named P92, will let users log in using their current Instagram accounts. Users will be able to sign up and log in to the new Instagram-branded app using existing Instagram credentials.
Users will initially sign up and log into the P92 app using their Instagram login credentials, and their profile will be filled with their account details (such as name, username, bio, and profile photo). The P92 team plans to adopt the "fork" technique with the MVP.
The app will abide by the business's current privacy policy, but it will also have a separate privacy policy and terms of service that particularly handle cross-app data exchange, according to the product brief.
Startups and technology companies have been attempting to capitalize on the rising trend of Twitter users looking for alternate platforms. In an effort to draw these people, a number of competing platforms, including Mastodon, Post.news, and T2, have recently emerged or acquired popularity.
According to the product brief, the app will follow the company's current privacy policy as well as its own privacy policy and terms of service that specifically address cross-app data interchange.
