Extension implies that the protocol is missing some capability, otherwise it wouldn't need to be extended. So we need to make the protocol better so they have nothing to add. If we don't add those capabilities, ever, then the protocol is doomed to eventual irrelevance and wasn't worth fighting over anyway.

Again, another thread where two billion people joining our network and meeting us where we are ... is somehow bad. If embrace extend extinguish is really the worry, then we have a bad protocol that needs extension to be usable by those 2B people, and we should fix that.
Am I living in a different planet from the rest of the commenters here? We have much more to gain from this than they do.
I actually think this game looks pretty good, and the fact they care enough to delay it is a positive signal. It's one of the first UE5 games. I'll play it when it comes out.
Yesssss! Please take my money.
No, it'll never go away, fortunately or unfortunately depending on your perspective.
It's fine and good. Normalize federation
Agreed - I really underestimated how much I had gotten used to that UI. Would love to keep using it or something like it on the Fediverse!
Yeah, it's a lot of value destroyed and many communities and individuals will never make the switch. It's a sad thing, even if there is new opportunity as we see with Lemmy.
That's s pretty awesome graph. Almost want to bet on the zenith haha
Actually, maybe! If it really is ActivityPub compliant.
In your scenario, Lemmy was worse than Kbin and didn't suit users needs as well, and didn't evolve the protocol fast enough to keep up. Kbin deserved to win in that case.
