   @bgcarlisle I think/suspect 3 is by far the largest of these threats, and the one we're both least capable of fighting and least willing to learn to fight as a community.

      @JubalBarca @bgcarlisle I think we all agree that it was bad when Google Talk dropped support for the XMPP protocol; wouldn't it be desirable if they restored that feature? Similarly, wouldn't the users of Facebook and Twitter be better off if they supported ActivityPub?

      Explain to me please why I'm wrong.

      (I agree that no. 3 should be a serious concern.)

         @JubalBarca I have just come across @bgcarlisle 's discussion of embrace and extinguish. I'm trying to imagine how that could apply in this case.
