Rochko has demonstrated to be either foolish or naive, and both are bad.
I'm not betting on him to having been bought, out of a minimum of trust, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's the case.
XMPP did not exist on its own outside of nerd circles, while ActivityPub enjoys the support and brand recognition of Mastodon.'

Mets is not different than any other person entering the fediverse. They are ultimately a company and will do what they need to be profitable. Ultimately they advertise social connection, and that's their business model.
