It's a very long post, but a lot of it is a detailed discussion of terminology in the appendix -- no need to read that unless you're into definitional struggles.

Yeah. There are a few issues with ActivityPub. And as far as I know it's questionable whether it could scale to a scale the large commercial platforms have. I'd be in for a more efficient successor with a few more standardized extras. I guess it'll be hard to agree on a new protocol. External pressure/influence could help, IMO. Although, at the same time I'm grateful I have this platform.
