This is a good thing actually. We should prefer a stable protocol and featureset. I really dislike the "move fast and break things" mentality.

I don't want things to break because some asshole decided they wanted to add a new shitfart feature, from a user perspective I like what I currently have.

I do prefer XMPP's approach over the Fediverse tho. You know, with an actual standards foundation defining RFCs instead of every project just kinda doing their own thing?

My impression is that certain projects are very disrespectful of trying to coordinate with others which is the wrong attitude to have with this kind of system, but that kind of demonstrates the problem
