A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
What's missing from the article is an actual explanation of how Google "killed" xmpp. Did google force the independent XMPP client developers to not implement cool features or something? Is meta going to buy up and shut down all the independent mastodon instances?
If the problem is that Facebook might develop a superior UX, maybe the fediverse should work on a better UX instead of screaming about some scary boogeyman and how the users are too dumb to know any better?
Great post by Ploum. Really sheds some light on how vicious these things can be and how federation will have to really push for openness and freedom.
Can anyone with expertise explain the structural difference between Matrix and XMPP?
The X in Xmpp is for extensible. I find issue that a protocol that is supposed to be extensible was killed by being extended.
