On: Twitter funding a team to develop an open standard...

From my viewpoint the problem with ActivityPub and Mastodon is that they copied twitters flaws: public by default.

There's a reason why people stick with Facebook, go to WhatsApp, Telegram and what not: most of us don't want to communicate publicly all the time.

Facebook Messenger, you mean ? I guess that most Facebook groups are public ?
