I'm surprised that nobody's tried building an entirely new social media format on ActivityPub yet.

I'm surprised that nobody's tried building an entirely new social media format on ActivityPub yet. Everything seems to be clones of socials that already exist to my knowledge

I wrote a thread related to this almost 2 years ago:

The TL;DR is —
Most open-source software is created by software-engineers — and usually no one with UI, UX, or product backgrounds are involved.
Creating new products is a different skill-set — usually labeled under product, UX, and UI.
And, although some software-engineers have UX, UI, or product skills — most don't.
So, when they do open-source — they often just copy / mimick. -
