The whole XMPP was used by nerds thing really showed how full of hubris he is, agreed.

This is going to end in a disaster, and this blog post from him will be linked at for decades to come to try and warn the next generation the next time we need to do something like this.

And the cycle will repeat.

It's an old trick from soldiers

Took me a while to find a client i liked (wefwef) and understand how subscriptions with the fediverse works, but now that i do, it's a pretty awesome experience.

In donating monthly to the Mastadon.world Patreon and I couldn't be happier to be doing it.

Absolutely this.

I've used Jerboa and it was decent, but really lacked consistency or a ui that worked.

Wefwef and connect are my two favorites at the moment.

well, it is, but it's like saying EA is less awful than Monsanto

Unless they pull an EEE. Which they absolutely would.

The fediverse admins all over would need to be vigilant and refuse Facebook access to the fediverse, otherwise we'll get extinguished, just like XMPP

Assuming Facebook doesn't get ahold of this...

Completely agreed. We'll have to see where this goes.

I think the masses of people will latch onto the next easy thing.

Facebook might be a place where only Boomers go now, but it's still incredibly influential and effective at manipulating the world around us in historically negative ways.

Reddit and even Twitter will remain for a while yet. Despite their best efforts to kill themselves

You know what? Forget the hangout.
