The claim was if we had interoperability we would see progress. IRC exists and we didn't. Now your claim is if we had interoperability and there was a benevolent giant willing to pour billions in investment we would see progress.
- dijit 3y agoAh, well, I still disagree IRC was that. XMPP was that, and it saw widespread adoption up until Facebook and Google walled off their XMPP federation- slack even disabled its XMPP bridge (that wasnt federated). Companies definitely killed that open protocol, though there could be arguments against XMPP: functionally they could have been worked around, there is just a significant financial incentive to not want to.
