The fediverse is a strange place to be sometimes. It's an open network where progress happens in fits and starts in random, often hidden, pockets. And the rest don't often hear what's really going on. In the 6 years I've built on #ActivityPub, we've all had to fight for some kind of coordination.
Especially re: the new #SocialWebFoundation (which I've backed as an outside supporter via my tiny company @write_as), you can see something new is happening.

E.g. the days of every fedi platform needing to be open source (as you'd get dogpiled for back in 2018) are gone. Proprietary platforms and major corps like Meta are joining, and they're collaborating with other major fedi platforms behind the scenes to take this all mainstream.
But that's what's happening right now, just so everyone knows.

@matt one of the major reasons the #Fediverse exists at all, & why it needed to be created in the first place, is a direct result of all of the major corps like #Meta pushing their #proprietary software walled gardens.
I don't see why any of us should support any efforts by the same #BigTech companies who are out to destroy the internet and shape it as they see fit.
[#]Google did a great job of "destroying" #XMPP, #email, and #usenet, so why should we let Meta work on "destroying" the Fediverse?

@Killab33z_OG @matt Google did not destroy XMPP. XMPP doing pretty well.
