I'm not suggesting anything, just want to know what do you think.

Very informative, thanks for sharing.

The author is definitely qualified to speak on XMPP and ActivityPub but one thing I noticed is all protocols and technologies mentioned really had no other alternatives for communication. Users flocked because there was nowhere else to go.

Imagine Lemmy.world was owned by Meta and today decided to federate only with those who paid it.

It is in the power of users to host their content on instances that will not turn on them - which unfortunately means not holding discourse on monitized instances
