  1. Interview by @mike with @Gargron.

    So according to Eugen, he's been using XMPP during a time when people let their desktop PCs run all the time, which is ideal for XMPP's requirement to maintain an active connection from sender to recipient in order to actually deliver messages.

    But when the world transitioned from desktop PCs to mobile phones, XMPP's requirement to stay always on was just not practical, and the world moved on from XMPP and onto other platforms.

    The only way people used XMPP was through Facebook and Google Talk, but the mainstream really didn't have a strong appreciation for XMPP.

    According to Eugen, Email is still going strong because everyone knows how to work with it

    Effectively, embracing, extending, extinguishing is just not a thing for email yet.

  2. Since Meta is trying to federate us, I'll be locking down my account to private until the Meta instance is up an running and until I can block it entirely. The reason I do that, because this way, no one can follow me from that instance, so my account data would not get pulled out to Meta's instance. :)
    Sorry for the inconvenience! #AntiMeta #Meta #AntiMetaFediPact #Threads #FediBlock

  3. The first thing I'm gonna to when Threads will launch is to block the entire domain if Eugen chooses not to. #AntiMeta #AntiMetaFediPact #Meta #Threads

  4. CW: Project 92, Threads, Disgusting moves from Meta

    I've heard rumours, but I'm not sure, is it true that Meta's launching the stuff by the end of the week?

    Imagine paying the Dalai Lama to use your shitty social network and stealing money from others' hard work (Fedi)

  5. "Is the goal of the Fediverse to be anti-corporate/anti-commercial, or to be pro-openness?"

    I have huge respect for Jon Gruber - especially after his brave and empathetic talk on the many harms of public shaming ("Cancel Culture") - so I'm going to take some time to unpack this.

    (1/?)
