I thought we already had Matrix

Matrix is decentralized but its not federating in a way like activity pub is doing

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.
