  If there’s XMPP involved in that pattern then I question your recollection of events that happened. If anything this is going to be more like e-mail where commercial service providers might want to set up some obstacles to avoid spam but also hurt little guys in the process. We’ll see how that goes with EU DSA laws though.

    No, no, no, you must respond with a Wikipedia article.

    Also, the first article that you responded to has multiple times when Microsoft did this and you should go actually read it. Don’t need the specific example that you think acts like a counterpoint to think giant tech corps are assholes and will act like it.

    It seems like everyone is forgetting that time exists, and corporations will learn from their mistakes and evolve.

    Email was developed, standardized and freely distributed long before the internet became what it is today.

    If email were created in this day and age it would look very different and probably fail because of corporate mismanagement (while CEOs take their golden parachutes).
