    XMPP did not exist on its own outside of nerd circles, while ActivityPub enjoys the support and brand recognition of Mastodon.

    I love Mastodon and the Fediverse, but to pretend that we are not a nerd circle is a bit disingenuous.

      Textbook hubris.

      His blog post will be another cautionary tale to tell in the near future.

      Ultimately, people are selfish.

      Whatever meta promised him is worth him selling out of his scruples to the community.

      I don’t hate him for that, but the dude should at least have the balls to be honest with us that that’s what’s happening here.

      Meta joining the fediverse is not a good thing for the fediverse. To say otherwise is to invite ruin.

      There’s way more nerds these days though, and a more normalized distrust for corporations.
