@stux You're not bribed, but I do consider it naive to not expect Meta's BS from Meta's platforms. They're going to use us to springboard. Then defederate. It's what happened with #xmpp

I don't think it's a good idea to let that happen.

@scirave I totally feel this and that's why i will be read with the "block button" the day they join and with the first sight of things going wrong

@stux I'm just worried they'll slow burn this by acting amicable, gain a sizable userbase, leave, and then abuse em. This whole situation is making me antsy...

I can't really think of any reason why a corporation like FB would do this otherwise, which is why I completely understand people preblocking.

@stux @scirave when things going wrong then our data will already be harvested so it's too late

SciRave

@fosserytech @stux It's already harvested (or you might as well consider it as that). It's public info, they are allowed to crawl it.

@strabysme @stux Many coprorations used it. Google Talk, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, etc. Some still use it in their backends. They went in, got big, and then walled off their garden.

@strabysme @scirave @stux both Google Chat and Facebook Messenger (or its predecessor, not sure it had the name yet) used to XMPP clients.
