Meta already had federated with XMPP back in the day, then dropped it when it was convenient.

They are gonna do the same for the fediverse. All they want from us is the starter content so that their service isn't empty for the first two months. They literally don't want to do the work that reddit founders had to do - generate content and pretend there are users to a new blank platform. After that the federation features are going to become legacy.

Not cooperating with corpos is a matter of principles.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
