@TheActualBrian@mastodon.social @mahmoudajawad@mastodon.online @clifff@shakedown.social @Gargron@mastodon.social Open Source fixes some problems but not others.
XMPP was open-source, including the significant majority of clients. SMTP was open-source in the same way.
Open Source doesn't magically make this go away, which is why there's a history of it causing severe problems to established Open Source ecosystems.

@TheActualBrian@mastodon.social @mahmoudajawad@mastodon.online @clifff@shakedown.social @Gargron@mastodon.social I'm not opposed to other actions. Defederation might be extreme. Maybe there's something better that's not as extreme. I'm not sure what. But "wait and see" is just giving them more leverage for the obvious ugly showdown. So that doesn't seem like a good compromise.
