What do you mean?

And what benefit justifies yet another standard?

In this day and age we need as many open source e2e encrypted alternatives as possible.

Matrix is a protocol, not an “App”. We would all benefit if everyone stopped doing their own thing, and started to push stuff for Matrix.

Huh? ActivityPub is also a protocol, now with this feature, why does that extra feature stop people from using Matrix?

Matrix has a list of specs, and ActivityPub has a different list, there may be some overlap but what's the problem here?

Because this is being advertised as federated end to end encrypted chat. They already exists and it’s called matrix, and it works damn well.

Matrix does not connect natively to discord as an example, every user of a matrix protocol is still within matrix

Activitypub doesn't connect natively to my toaster.

Sounds like you need to upgrade your toaster, noob.

So? Does anything connect to discord, legally and natively?
