How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse) in c/[email protected]

If Google can add stuff to the protocol that breaks other clients, that sounds like a bug with the protocol more than anything. Why was that even allowed

Meta's upcoming AcitivityPub-enabled app Threads will only come with an "import from Mastodon" option. The new network won't federate on day one. in c/[email protected]

They could threaten to defederate from them.

Wait a minute....

did Google force them to do that, or did the open source devs just make a mistake?

What's missing from the article is an actual explanation of how Google "killed" xmpp. Did google force the independent XMPP client developers to not implement cool features or something? Is meta going to buy up and shut down all the independent mastodon instances?

If the problem is that Facebook might develop a superior UX, maybe the fediverse should work on a better UX instead of screaming about some scary boogeyman and how the users are too dumb to know any better?

Hey could we defederate with exploding-heads.com/ in c/[email protected]
