    I’m incredibly surprised that Wired (the original source) didn’t mention that there’s precedent for the fediverse’s concerns in Gchat/XAMPP

      Because there aren’t. That was a dumb blog post.

      If Google Talk never supported XMPP it still would have had millions of users and XMPP would have died years earlier. That wasn’t EEE, that was Google keeping an open protocol alive for a while until they decided not to.
