We just don’t want history repeating itself like what happened with xmpp. Do you really think facebook of all companies is joining the fediverse with good intentions? Do you really think they’re not trying to monopolize this?

I would like to point out that xmpp still exists. Google Talk does not. WhatsApp killed xmpp, not Google

  I never mentioned google. And sure, xmpp exists but it’s dead and would be much better off if not for big tech giants

  Where did they even mention Google in their comment?

    Because every time this argument starts, someone mentions how they don’t want the fediverse to go down the xmpp path, and the argument has its origin in this article

Last I checked, the people using XMPP are still running happily using servers and clients.

All 17 of them.

I gotta ask… were you around and actively using xmpp around that time?

Because I was. And xmpp struggling had nothing to do with Google
