      Still not convinced. If Mastodon or ActivityPub dies we’ll have Bluesky and AT. Not worried. Good to have options.

      I know we all dream of having all our friends and family on the Fediverse so we can avoid proprietary networks completely. But the Fediverse is not looking for market dominance or profit. The Fediverse is not looking for growth. It is offering a place for freedom. People joining the Fediverse are those looking for freedom. If people are not ready or are not looking for freedom, that’s fine. They have the right to stay on proprietary platforms. We should not force them into the Fediverse. We should not try to include as many people as we can at all cost. We should be honest and ensure people join the Fediverse because they share some of the values behind it.

      This is incredibly naive. Mastodon/ActivityPub is much more popular than XMPP was lol
