@CanadaPlus this is referring to far in the future. In the long scale of things, developer time is not so limited. Fedi doesn't necessarily have a time limit after all, it's just going to go stronger over time. I don't see a stopping point.
Ah. Yes, in the asymptotic future limit everything can be implemented twice as long as there's social opportunity to do so. I wonder if that applies back to Gmail as well, will we see an open-source federated G-suite?
@CanadaPlus so are you expecting there to just be zero progress in the future? What do you think the fedi will look like in 10 years? And yes, there are foss tools to replicate all of gsuite. What a pessimistic view not even based in reality.
... You're OP. You said you were referring to the far future. I was literally just agreeing with you.
Individually (probably not exactly). Nothing that's all integrated, though. Like, I can use Proton for certain things, but only with other Proton users, and it's not seamless and feature-rich the way G-suite is (again, yet, maybe that will change).
