@luka @gaditb @mattskala @shel i would be careful about conflating any of:
- OStatus, ActivityPub, etc., which are federation protocols
- GNU Social, Mastodon, etc., which are softwares
- Any of the various communities *on* GNU Social, Mastodon, etc.
these all have different points of origin and histories and it's important to be clear about which one you're talking about when you discuss them
