      Yeah, but I don’t know if that really applies to XMPP. Google turned on XMPP federation for seven years and then turned it off. The article basically admits that it’s counterfactual to say that XMPP would have wider adoption or be more developed today if Google never did that.

      I think a more significant concern would be if Meta hires away Fediverse developers, but that is separate from them just turning on federation.
