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?
In this day and age we need as many open source e2e encrypted alternatives as possible.
How so? It's certainly very similar.
The matrix protocol enables federation between different instances running different homeservers between users using different clients.
