Obviously that means ActivityPub is better, then. ;)

Though, as in terms of the "MIT Approach" vs "New Jersey Style", I've thought about that before... I do think that ActivityPub (and even more so, other linked data approaches) are probably the "MIT Approach" of federation attempts... if "New Jersey Style" would to more accurately map in terms of philosophy, I'd say that this would be closer to the IndieWeb stack. OStatus doesn't really seem to fit into either camp; to me it feels like its current "success", even if "worse", has to do with entrenchment as first-mover advantage.
