The main thing I understood is that once Meta joins the Fediverse we need to stand up for protecting our protocol standards, is that correct?

Really good read. I was not aware of the history in such details, but the argument is very compelling.

Great post by Ploum. Really sheds some light on how vicious these things can be and how federation will have to really push for openness and freedom.

Can anyone with expertise explain the structural difference between Matrix and XMPP?
