This article is so misleading. XMPP died for the same reason all technology dies. No one used it. Even if Google hadn’t ever used it, it would still be dead. I know this because Google Talk and ALL Google chat apps are dead. WhatsApp killed them all.
I’m not saying it’s different. I’m saying that the current plan in no achieves the goal of keeping the fediverse open and out of the control of large corporations.
If you want to know how to prevent them from taking control, you better start working out the specifics of how they will do that. Otherwise your actions may end up helping them.
No one seems to have considered the possibility that Facebook are well aware of what people think of them. That they looked at the technology and thought “we don’t have to do anything, those idiots hate us so much they will do the job for us and give us the private marketplace we desire”
How? Everyone says some form of this, but never gives any details of how they will do that. Or how defederation will prevent that.
You are afraid that they will control the marketplace, and then turn around telling everyone to defederate, which just gives them a walled garden marketplace on a silver platter.
Ah, so just fear mongering and hoping that the fear based knee-jerk reaction isn’t actually playing directly into their hands.
What point was that? If you don’t join Threads, they don’t have your data. They do have everything you publish to the Fediverse though, no matter what you do.
They can already harvest the data. Nothing on the ActivityPub is private
Yeah, yeah, parrot the line and then please explain how?
Extending means making extra functionality that others haven’t implemented, so that your offering is more attractive. You use it to build a walled garden. Defederation just skips that step and does it for them. They don’t even have to extend.
Because every time this argument starts, someone mentions how they don’t want the fediverse to go down the xmpp path, and the argument has its origin in this article
https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
I would like to point out that xmpp still exists. Google Talk does not. WhatsApp killed xmpp, not Google
But it doesn’t keep him away. Defederation means they consume all of the data from ActivityPub, you consume none of theirs. You are creating a walled garden for them that makes it harder for Threads users to leave.
How is Threads going to breach your privacy by federating with your instance? How is de federating from Threads going to protect your privacy?
It’s not the last book. It’s how the seventh book, Persepolis Rising, starts.
The English equivalent would be "You’ll be fine son, but if it doesn’t work out, Jim’ll Fix It "
Of course my comment is false equivalence, because the initial assertion is false equivalence.
You can’t compare NASA and Spacex because they have different goals. NASA even contract many of their payloads to Spacex, which they wouldn’t do if they were in the same business.
The heat released into the atmosphere has to go somewhere. The only place it can go is to be radiated into space
What do you base that on?
Spacex has had zero successful missions to Mars. NASA has landed 5 rovers.
Humans have asymmetric features. No one is symmetrical
Everyone is searched going through customs. There are also dogs trained to sniff out everything.
It is satire, but it isn’t the onion
