   I don't recall which one of you posted this but I feel like it was @bob: https://whispersystems.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/
   
   Coming from my anti-capitalist standpoint, I read this article as "centralization is how one runs a business." Most of the author's arguments against federation were about control and competitors (have a look at the Github example).
   
   Regarding the soup of XEPs, there's beauty in the ability to choose between providers or host your own if you're technically inclined. It's a learning process, though.
   
   People are so hung up on instant gratification and companies cater to that, eager to take your money or make money off of you.
   
   Slow down, federate, and learn things.
