How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse) écrit par Ploum, Lionel Dricot, ingénieur, écrivain de science-fiction, développeur de logiciels libres.

It’s really important for those of us who’ve lived through previous megacorp attacks on free software ecosystems to TEACH that history.

This article rehashes a lot of relevant stuff in some detail. Regardless of what you feel about the decisions around the fediverse and Facebook, knowing the history can only help.

When we learn from history, we are NOT NECESSARILY condemned to repeat it.

    I had never heard of XMPP before, thanks for sharing. I’m in favor of blocking Meta completely. I came to the fediverse to specifically avoid those other places…
    “The Fediverse is not looking for growth. It is offering a place for freedom.”
    I’m very thankful for that. Great article.
