I remember this being a kinda niche alternative to activity pub, and I always liked it because it had the ability to be local and P2P, with federated instances really just being repeaters. I didn’t like that it was immutable, but that was just the cost. Also you had to install something, which made it not as simple as just browser stuff. I see on Google there are SS to ActivityPub adapters too.

    sounds kind of like element now. its more a chat based app but my understanding is DMs are P2P, not sure about rooms.

      That’s not quite right. It’s hard to wrap your mind around. Basically every person in the network is a router for the entire network, kinda like the blockchain. You keep a microblog, and it just gets passed around like a trading card to all other people P2P. Unlike matrix, it’s not chat, it’s publishing.
