       | It's so performative to make life worse for all your viewers so
       | your viewers know you hate AI crawlers.

       | But seriously, open chat protocols are one of the most
       | interesting parts of the de-enshittification puzzle, but trying
       | to make people's lives miserable the way big tech does is not the
       | way forward. A funny part of XMPP being "not cool" is that it is
       | actually quite popular for soldiers and cops as it can be
       | customized to store everything about interactions with the public
       | in a Lotus Notes database (Baltimore) or have an officer fill out
       | a form every day about contacts with the enemy and send it back
       | to command over a sporadically available network connection.
