GN has been making a genuine effort to regurgiate research on various chat services and protocols in light of many people finally realizing that Discord is a Piece of Shit™. They're the only ones who've been honest about Matrix's honeypot smell but still haven't exactly nailed the issue and have neglected XMPP presumably because they are as clueless as the average person - they are better as journalists and not computer experts, but that's better than 99% of journos out there so I'll take it I guess. Above all it is a good thing they are willing to listen to commenter feedback and highly likely that they'll do more good than bad for normies not in the know.
