I thought we already had Matrix

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

ActivityPub isn't the only way to federate.
Matrix is federating the same way email does. Anyone can spin up their own server. And if they want anyone can spin up their own software. That's what federation is. Different servers agreeing on how to communicate with each other.

What do you mean?

And what benefit justifies yet another standard?

[-] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

In this day and age we need as many open source e2e encrypted alternatives as possible.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 months ago

How so? It's certainly very similar.

The matrix protocol enables federation between different instances running different homeservers between users using different clients.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 months ago

We do.

This is for activitypub DMs.

That's what I mean.
The headline is a lie.

If I say tacos coming soon, it doesn't mean I invented tacos, just that there will be new tacos I guess

[-] whelk@retrolemmy.com 11 points 2 months ago

I'll take one

[-] veeesix@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

I heard this is the line for tacos.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Lines long as 2, and they only come three ways. Steak, cilantro, lime, cheese with your choice of sauce... Chicken chipotle mixed Mexican blend cheese, and cilantro lime, rice-cauliflower.

Sides are open as a bar, self serve.

But we already have tacos.
If you say "Tacos are coming soon". And we already have tacos. I'd say "What do you mean? Tacos are already here. Do we need more tacos?"
