I was looking at other federation protocols last night. I've been getting frustrated with ActivityPub (it's very vague and everyone does it slightly differently), and I wanted to see how other protocols handled things.
I found a really cool one called Zot that had cross site authentication, which made privacy settings really interesting and useful. Unfortunately, the developer took down all of the drive and instead created a reference application called (streams), the parenthesis are correct. (streams) has no good info or documentation. You have to read the code to figure it out.

@bryan FWIW, it's one of my axes es to grind that activity pub is actually a pretty crappy system.
It's just not well designed, and we've seen the results of that over the years as it takes too many resources and doesn't offer features that users really want.
So just wanted to pipe in and say, yeah, you're on the right track calling it out for its failings.
