      XMPP is actually a great protocol that has expanded over time with lost of additional functionality, including secure networking. It has both channels and blog subscriptions (not supported by all clients). The only other protocol I know of that has extendible features like this is Nostr. Both really put ActivityPub to shame apart from the federation aspect. Actually wondering if XMPP has a Lemmy/Reddit type link aggregation with voting.
