With Meta starting to actually implement ActivityPub, I think it would be a good idea to remind everyone of what they are most likely going to do.

    I suppose that applies more to XMPP, but not everything has to be a business, and you don’t have to be an ass about it.

      You’re the one being an ass about it, saying developers always want a greenfield project. Tons of people contribute where they can, but we still need a job. So if somebody wants to make a business making a new chat client so they can make enough money to feed their family, well, that’s the capitalistic hellhole we’ve found ourselves in.

        And those developers get told what to do. The wheel also gets reinvented by PMs and entrepreneurs who think they can do it better. Sounds like someone is salty about their software maintenance job.

          I’m talking about the new company phase, not the established phase with management. Every company starts somewhere.

          I don’t even know what you’re on about, I don’t know how you could see that as salty about anything with my job lol
