Important progress has been made regarding bringing MLS end-to-end encryption to the ActivityPub protocol, with developers already building implementations and providing feedback to a future version of the protocol spec.

How so? It's certainly very similar.

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

But all those clients are matrix, not say some discord, some fluxer, some stoat, etc.

All activitypub platforms are activity pub. Also, matrix is a protocol, not a client. There's tons of clients for matrix (element/element x being the main one).

Yes?

"Matrix" is the protocol.

The equivalent is ActivityPub, not discord, fluxer or stoat.

The Fediverse isn't federated.

All those clients are ActivityPub, not say some Twitter, some Facebook, some Bluesky, etc.

How is that different?
