    That is already how ActivityPub apps work.

    It’s also not what happened to XMPP and, interestingly, not what the article claims happened to XMPP, even. You’ll note in the postmortem about it the recollection is that Google was too slow to adopt features and fix bugs, not the other way around.

    I guess once you get enough confirmation bias in play you can embrace, expand and extinguish both by doing that and the opposite of that.
