By using XMPP you were explicitly not choosing Google Talk or Facebook Messenger. How is this any different?

XMPP users said the same about XMPP. And it was true, to a certain extent. The federated XMPP network is alive to this day, I’m in a few chat rooms and have a few contacts there.

Thats my point effectively nothing changes if Facebook drops ActivityPub.

Aren’t you agreeing with me here? All I’m saying is that whatever happens the fediverse will continue existing in its fairly niche core we of the internet.
