It's by Meta, that is all I need to know to stay away from it.

The EU has been really great lately. Gdpr laws are protecting us from all of these shitty preditory services that Americans will be the first to sign up on.

Very shallow and naive view. I hate to be the old-timer here, but I think @gargron is too young to understand what happened with XMPP and similar previous attempts.

XMPP had its own problems outside Google Talk's use of that protocol, most notably that smartphones became a thing and the protocol at that time wasn't really suitable for environments where connections are lost all the time.

An excellent summary. I think instance owners shouldn't be too quick to block threads. ActivityPub was built around low trust, so why not give them a chance?

I thought it was a terrible summary where they missed all the things they were saying that would make me switch to a defederated instance or delete my account. They got one thing which is like magic beans and gave away free airspace to those fuckers!

They are a prodit driven company trying to obtain 100% market share. What do you think is going to happen?
