@wysteriary@Gargron Nah. The VC funding is exactly why I use #XMPP instead of #Matrix and #Mastodon instead of #Bluesky. We don't need VC funded startups to reinvent basic internet standards and trying to displace standards with their custom and incompatible protocols.
@uexo@Gargron Once upon a time ActivityPub wasn't a basic internet standard. Most of the Fediverse as we know descends from OStatus, a protocol developed by the VC-funded StatusNet back in the day. I think parts of OStatus is still used in ActivityPub
