Thank you.Would you consider editing your original post to reflect that :)I hate this article since it compares to XMPP. A much more accurate comparison would be seething like E-mail, I believe. I get it... I'm likely going to block meta instances from the servers I have whenever I have time to figure out how to.How is the comparison to XMPP lacking?

The only thing keeping that alive is many independent E-mail servers.I don't see threads providing any value
