By using XMPP you were explicitly not choosing Google Talk or Facebook Messenger. How is this any different?
Because the majority of XMPP users were Google Talk and Facebook Messenger users. Fediverse users are explicitly using the Fediverse.
XMPP users said the same about XMPP. And it was true, to a certain extent. The federated XMPP network is alive to this day, I’m in a few chat rooms and have a few contacts there.
Aren’t you agreeing with me here? Thats my point effectively nothing changes if Facebook drops ActivityPub.
How exactly? Let’s say they follow the EEE strategy and eventually drop support for ActivityPub. Then it’s exactly the same as it is now. People bring up XMPP but nobody wanted to use XMPP the majority of people were using Google Talk or Facebook Messenger. By using the Fediverse you are already explicitly choosing not to use Facebook or X or Reddit. The large social media companies already have larger user bases and more content and if people here wanted that they’d leave already.
That’s an official Rockstar press release.
The last GTA came out 10 years ago?
I don’t use an Android but my experience with NextDNS in iOS is pretty great. It’s very easy to use and has very low latency.
Have you noticed that you’ve marked yourself as a bot?
