  They have federation on in their sandbox network with 3rd party clients already working, but it’s not going to talk activitypub

    Non-activitypub federated protocols? Who is even the 3rd party in this instance? Nostr?

      Nostr is a wildly different protocol from atprotocol and activitypub.

      Activitypub is very much like email (SMTP) over http, pushing messages between servers. Atprotocol is instead using a repository model per user points aggregation servers and a pull model for retrieval. Nostr is a P2P protocol with “gossip nodes”

        Yeah, I more I learn about this stuff I can't see the purpose of this new protocol versus the existing ones (not to even mention all the activitypub/fediverse spinoffs too).
