Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
If Kbin or Lemmy allows them to federate with us, I’m out of here.
I felt the same way but then I read this and changed my mind about it https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-threads/
Thinking about it I’m in an European country where Whatsapp is the default messenger app, if it had interoperability I could be on another FOSS app and be tracked by Meta just when I talk to people who are on Whatsapp and be free when talking to people not on Whatsapp, this could be great to make people switch “clients”, which is damn hard now because “everyone is on Whatsapp”. Interoperability is the shit and we should embrace it!
No, we should not embrace interoperability with them. Read this https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
Don’t let them get the foot in the door. Preemptively block everything.
Embrace meta
Extend meta
Destroy meta
In addition, Facebook already had support for XMPP at some point in time but killed it.
Why? Because they couldn’t dry users off other platforms after Google closed their own support for XMPP.
Even if Meta “play nice”, we already know their aim. Siphon users off mastodon and then remove activityPub support when most servers are on life support from loss of users.
