I think the reason XMPP comes so much is because every single person read the post in /all, seriously I feel that is the biggest reason xmpp is the example being given instead of whenever microsoft has done it which is a lot more times and at least those we know definitely were done in bad faith because of the court cases as opposed to google abandoning XMPP.

Its fine to hate Meta and its fine to want the instance to be federated, but Im genuinely tired of people having this attitude of whomever isnt completely against federation with meta is either ignorant or dumb, like seriously a lot of people havent given proper thought of how EEE would look like and especially those saying “we need to defederate from anyone that hasnt defederated with meta” as a punitive measure are really tiring.

I probably will change my mastodon account if the instance doesnt defederate or at least make an alt account, but I dont believe some instances not defedarating will bring doom to the fediverse, that is not how this was designed to be. And for people to be so in arms here in lemmy that they are threatening and making all this big statements, well thats plain weird.
