@jherazob

what the heck makes you think that all the #Fediverse users are just gonna leave for #Meta because federation with it is "annoying"? lol

I wasn't talking about our users, i was talking about theirs, a direct mirror of what the author described with XMPP

@jherazob The #Meta situation isn't comparable to the #XMPP situation though

Correct, it's worse, you can very much argue that Google had good faith intentions, you cannot even pretend that Facebook does while keeping a straight face
