I feel like defederating is a good short term solution, but the events described with XMPP could have happened in any number of ways.

The real focus should be on how to make ActivityPub robust enough to prevent the events from the article from happening again.

Or Wallabag, an open source alternative for those hearing about Pocket for the first time.

It’s also a super clunky way to search. If I’m skimming posts for technical issues that I need a quick turnaround for, I’m probably not going through that hassle unless I’m desperate.

But how would this work with broader federation? Searching other instances like beehaw or kbin? We’ll needan new search optimization to search the fediverse more efficiently.
