AP is just a protocol. But, yeah, many #ActivityPub #Fediverse users and admins dislike any other decentralized protocol, because they feel that AP has sufficient penetration that everyone should just extend AP instead of reinventing the wheel.
Famously articulated by Evan, who originated both AP and its predecessor #OStatus.
For the record, this idea is dead wrong. With multiprotocol servers & clients and with bridges, people don't have to care which decentralized protocol someone else uses, and thus #Nostr, AP, OStatus, #Diaspora, ATProto, etc are no longer competitors but allies in the quest to take down the corpocentric (centralized, corporate controlled) networks.
Don't forget the overall goal. We get focused on competing with other decentralized networks when our task is to spread #DecentraLife and deflate #corpocentric networks.
