minus-squarejorge@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year ago XMPP did not exist on its own outside of nerd circles, while ActivityPub enjoys the support and brand recognition of Mastodon. I love Mastodon and the Fediverse, but to pretend that we are not a nerd circle is a bit disingenuous.
minus-squareRikudou_Sage@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoYeah, if he thinks Mastodon is mainstream, he should check again.
minus-squareUncle_Iroh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down2·1 year agoYeah I only hear about Mastodon last year. Found out it’s been a thing since 2016 lol
minus-squareAnders429@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoYeah, it’s a bit naive to think this can’t go the exact same way XMPP did.
minus-squareTyfud@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoTextbook hubris. His blog post will be another cautionary tale to tell in the near future. Ultimately, people are selfish. Whatever meta promised him is worth him selling out of his scruples to the community. I don’t hate him for that, but the dude should at least have the balls to be honest with us that that’s what’s happening here. Meta joining the fediverse is not a good thing for the fediverse. To say otherwise is to invite ruin.
