However, XAMPP didn’t just die because it opened itself up to Microsoft and got extinguished
So, we went from the somewhat imaginary “google killed xmpp” to fully fictional “Microsoft killed xampp” now? it’s almost like the fedipact people literally have no clue what they are talking about.
Who was this article written by?
I’m firmly in the “block Threads” camp, as a matter of principle, but this seems like pure misunderstanding in communication, or a typo.
None of us are actually claiming ridiculous things like “Microsoft killed XAMPP”.
Yeah sorry. That was a mistake but I changed it now :)

Yeah all the EEE/“Threads will kill us” talk reminds me of how Slack killed IRC by first offering an IRC gateway, and then killing off support. And after that IRC literally died.
/s
I saw a post here about how Threads’ biggest enemy at this point is antitrust, and a federated approach is a clever way around that. I think that makes much more sense than the EEE narrative.
