"The Fediverse today is dominated by microblogging clones."

... because Mastodon is what people use the most (really it's the only "microblogging" app, and only by default)

"... we need domain-specific applications that leverage ActivityPub’s full semantic potential — not just status updates, but recipes, events, reviews, collaborative documents ..."

We've had most of these for years. Mobilizon, NeoDB, NextCloud, etc.

Clicked through on that @ naturzukunft2026 link for some reason

"The spec is ActivityPub, but federation is unfortunately Mastodon."

No

is a protocol

It requires some sort of implementation via software into some sort of distribution/app

Mastodon (for one) is only *one* distribution/app

There are others

These others may

--> or may not <--

"federate" with each other to varying degrees

They are all *different* and "varying" implementations of the ActivityPub protocol

I don't know why this is so hard to understand, but it sure seems to be...
