Why?
What benefit does this have over Signal/Matrix?
The article just says “improvements”.
So, I used messaging here in the broad sense. One possible application for it is instant messaging, which there are ActivityPub implementations out there doing that. But it can also be used for statuses or pretty much anything else that gets federated.
That actually sounds cool, I wonder if they could support Hidden containers, so the same message can be decypted to different messages by different users.
