Just remember, Every time advocacy groups warn about tech/capitalism, believe them. We don't make shit up, we use history of actions and facts to state our reasons to be against it.
If your instance isn't part of @FediPact please urge your admins to join or move to another instance who is.
And if you want proof, ask the general public what Jabber/XMPP was, and then ask what Google how they killed it.
EDIT: Please send support to the creator of the FediPact, @vantablack as she is homeless. This is possible because of them.
EDIT #2: Some peppe are saying it doesn't happen anymore, but since it only happened to competitors to Facebook and only after people noticed, I don't think it was a "bug" that only impacted FOSS replacements, but a feature for Facebook removed. Don't give these Zuckers gaslight and think they remain innocent.
@queue not arguing with the part where threads & meta is a dumpster fire, but the part on Jabber/XMPP is still a very wrong (and commonly spread, because it fits into the narrative, thanks @ploum I guess) take considering that it is very much not dead, and the interop was quite niche at the time
@alberto_cottica No, it's not up and running. That's the wait and see part.
I've noticed how infosec.exchange created a second server to solve the federation dilemma. Their original server has 15 k users and the other, infosec.space, has fewer than 100 users. We can observe how that develops over the next few months.
From my point of view there isn't any rush to create a second server. Meta isn't even fully federated yet. It's one way as far as I understand it.
@alberto_cottica I wish I could send a poll to all active users and ask properly, but Mastodon doesn't have such a feature. So far there are more people following others on Threads than people voicing their opinion to block them.
To the best of our knowledge, Meta is not hiding posts that contain the term "Pixelfed", here is a series of posts that were made to explore this issue:
