The Activitypub protocol is nothing but a piece of paper. Meta can rewrite it if they want, but that doesn't mean Lemmy, Mastodon or the many other platforms would automatically use it. Programmers have to implement it, and then instance admins have to deploy it. So by inertia it's likely that changes would be ignored by most platforms. However they could easily bribe developers or admins to make certain changes.
