Great post by Ploum. Really sheds some light on how vicious these things can be and how federation will have to really push for openness and freedom.

The main thing I understood is that once Meta joins the Fediverse we need to stand up for protecting our protocol standards, is that correct?
Really good read. I was not aware of the history in such details, but the argument is very compelling.
Can anyone with expertise explain the structural difference between Matrix and XMPP?
The X in Xmpp is for extensible. I find issue that a protocol that is supposed to be extensible was killed by being extended.
