Loopt was never profitable. I am yet to hear of any YC company that succeeded and pointed at Altman as a key factor. OpenAI only got first mover advantage because it was seen as separate entity that had a higher purpose. Now that the truth

What baffles me: why do moderators still subject themselves to this? It can't be Stockholm Syndrome: Reddit is not forcing them to be around. They are free to go and take their communities with them. It can't be financial gain:

Is your company building a business with half a billion of dollars in revenue out the uncountable amount of man-hours put into Wordpress development?

No, they did not. The number of XMPP users pre-Facebook (and pre-Google talk) is on the same order as it is today. My point is that even if Facebook were to attempt EEE with ActivityPub, the existing userbase would not give up .

This is pointless FUD. Facebook did not extinguished XMPP by adopting from Messenger, did it?

Right, but to me you are arguing that we don't necessarily need 100% automation, we just need to (re)design the tools in a way to support smaller farms. Instead of huge tractors that can cover vast areas of land, we would be better off
