      They can’t “fuck it up”, but they can shove it back into irrelevancy.

        Yes? Have you ever tried shoving something back from being on the internet?

          You should ask XMPP how relevant it feels. Or Digg. Twitter? Reddit?

            I think all an individual entity can do to push a protocol into irrelevancy, is not using it…

              Well that’s easy enough when you have the numbers and the content or you buy it and don’t support it, zucc is trying to do it to twitter right now with threads, reddit did it to digg, reddit did it to reddit, , lemmy is doing it to Reddit, Google did it to XMPP, Microsoft has killed numerous budding technogies by driving them into obscurity, how many examples do you need?
