Hello, I know that the fediverse contains many challengers to the walled garden approach of the main stream social media options. But, unless I miss comprehend, the fediverse isn’t anything new, more a return to how things were in the the past. Case in point Newsgroups. Why aren’t they mentioned in the same breath as Lemmy, kbin or Mastodon?
Forums seem like the most natural use case for ActivityPub. I’m over the Reddit style UX, and absolutely ready to take a step back and try to pick an older jumping off point.
