Comment on Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads
PropaGandalf@lemmy.world 10 months agoGod why are all crying about XMPP? If you want to make it more popular just start using it yourself. If you don’t have anyone to speak with over there just speak with me (seriously DM me).
Also we have a lot of open source alternatives by now so XMPP is just one of many good options which means that the people will go whith what they feel comfortable with. Trust me, if XMPP would be the only dezentralized, open source chat protocol around I’d be using it exclusively and many others would probably too.

I think xmpp is just the example of what could happen to the fediverse if Facebook follow the same play

So you’re saying Facebook will lose interest in the feddiverse and leave it largely unscathed to go on to do what it has always done? Not sure why people are so doom and gloom about this. This seems like the best outcome you all would want.

No, I think the point of the article is that they might try to siphon off all the casual fediverse uses with flashy features and big names and then break compatibility

There’s barely anyone to siphon right now.

Damn, if only there were examples written down somewhere, perhaps online, where we could read theories based on past events about this potential situation.
Oh well i guess 🤷♂️
