Comment on ActivityPub vs RSS Atom etc. Why Federate instead of aggrigate?

Your entire post is advocacy for jabber, and all it’s current and ongoing features [database is down, I am aware].
ActivityPub has been a fascist project since its inception.
Best way I can describe the situation is NIH.

Yes, I mentioned XMPP for good reason, but I haven't seen it implemented in a way which makes it a replacement for persistent content like forums, blogs, etc.
I don't know if ActivityPub is a fascist project, but it is effectively a fully public communications network and so can be analyzed and utilized by anyone for any purpose. What I'm proposing wouldn't be any more opaque, it would be built on the open web.

Now, how aware are you that GNUSocial was built upon jabber technology?

I did not mean to say Jabber is a fascist project. You said "ActivityPub has been a fascist project from its inception." and I was responding to that. XMPP has end to end encryption protocols and so is not a part of the open web fundamentally.
GNUSocial was built on OStatus which actually is the closest thing to the tech stack I am talking about in my post. It did not include XMPP/Jabber as far as I can tell. Interestingly the Wikipedia article on OStatus claims that ActivityPub arose out of the OStatus project in order to reduce the complexity of implementation, so another mark towards that explanation, but I'd like to hear more from devs involved.

The replacement of Jabber from ActivityPub on that paragraph was intentional retrospective exercise for you to read that Jabber has been part of the open web since pubsubhubbub was a thing. That fact that you denied, while not detailing that OStatus is a Websub (XEP 60) implementation, shows me that you were incapable of connecting Jabber webclients, like GNUSocial, Friendica, Movim, Kaidan, Libervia, and most famously Converse.js, have already implemented fora, weblogs, and more, without the need to JSONify the web.
