    @emi @shipp I think an open standard converted to a walled garden is still better than a garden walled from the beginning.

    I can still send emails to GMail accounts.
    I can still send SMS to my friend’s iPhone.

    I wish everything was fully open, but at least I get to chose my email provider or my SMS app. (Although SMS is completely irrelevant in Europe these days, due to providers still charging money per message.)

      True, if they integrate with federation in good faith it won’t matter that much for those not using them. But until we see what they do I won’t hold my breath on Facebook doing something in good faith.
