It was an iteration of OStatus. And prior to that, work done by npub1w7agf7akg5kqzjrc9ulhezf3c8n3v8q9vp6hkxatm6nfak6swzyqe9tpn3 (npub1w7a…tpn3) with his startup identi.ca.

Now one thing I will say is that W3C validation was important, and was probably created momentum for broad adoption.

Anyway, competition isn’t bad. If anything, AT protocol could be the kick in the pants to improve ActivityPub.
