    ActivityPub isn’t the only way to federate.
    Matrix is federating the same way email does. Anyone can spin up their own server. And if they want anyone can spin up their own software. That’s what federation is. Different servers agreeing on how to communicate with each other.

      No that’s decentralization, federating is when you can share the info natively outside the platform.

        share the info natively outside the platform.

        I’m not even sure that makes sense.
        Federating is based on protocols not platforms. And what does it mean to share natively if not using the protocol?

        That’s a distinction that only matters to nerds.

        Luckily most of us on here are nerds so it’s all good.
