  • Many who don’t see the danger were not here in the 2000’s. There are so many great technical achievements that were killed by microsoft, google or facebook EEE’ing the shit out of it. Remember jabber/xmpp? Yeah, both FB and Google implemented the protocol in their chat apps. Everyone was thrilled; I could use my jabber client to connext to fb and talk to my friends. Then they remembered there’s not any money in that and killed the projects.

    Even if it’s good for the fediverse now, as soon as they realize they can make more money by not having to sync with other companies and organizations, they’ll be out of here, leaving nothing behind like a swarm of locusts. The only defense is defederation.
