Haven't done anything to the Fedivese yet.
"the mass murderer have killed multiple people in Spain and Italy, but we can't just assume he will do the same thing in France"
Oh? I missed where Meta had done bad things to previous Fediverses.
Like XMPP?
Not Meta.
Facebook allowed connecting with XMPP clients for a while and then cut off that access. While they were not the main offender compared to Google, they still did nothing but leech off the XMPP ecosystem until they decided it wasn't in their interest any longer.
I'm failing to see what's wrong about this. They used XMPP and then stopped? That seems to be exactly what people angry about Threads federation want Meta to do with ActivityPub.
The point is that at no point in time where they actually interested in supporting the XMPP federation. It was only a short term tool for them to capture some audience that it would not have otherwise.
