TL;DR: The common view on Meta’s Threads is that it will be either all good or all bad, leading to oversimplified and at the end contra productive propositions like the Fedipact. But in reality, it’s behaviour will most likely change dynamically over time, and therefore, to prevent us getting in a position, in which Threads can actually perform EEE on us, we need to adapt a dynamic strategy as well.
Some self proclaimed leaders want to create a aet of rules for all instances in the “fair” fediverse and then use their power to negotiate with threads?
Sure, that’s going to be a great success. Threads really needs all the fem oy and linux content, we have lots of leverage!
Will there be elections for our new leaders? I’d like to become minister of scepticism.
However, XAMPP didn’t just die because it opened itself up to Microsoft and got extinguished
So, we went from the somewhat imaginary “google killed xmpp” to fully fictional “Microsoft killed xampp” now? it’s almost like the fedipact people literally have no clue what they are talking about.
XAMPP is not XMPP. XMPP is a communications protocol; XAMPP is a software bundle that lets you set up Apache, PHP, and MySQL on various operating systems with minimal effort.
It’s kinda nice on Windows because installing everything manually would be more of a hassle but then again WSL means you can just have everything like on Linux anyway. So it’s less popular these days, I guess.
