@bnewbold.netbryan newbold your comparison slide misrepresents ActivityPub somewhat in two ways.

1. We do distribute data, not just metadata, including binary data. It can be pushed, or it can be pulled.
2. It's not just a message-passing system; it's a distributed data store. Every object on the network can be fetched directly using its `id`, which is an HTTPS URL.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://cosocial.ca/users/evan/statuses/115497701167645586 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
