I can't do online shopping without accepting a notification on my bank's app. That's not "social media and chat apps".

[offtopic] Where are you from, OP? Is it Eastern Europe? I don't think you're French, because you would have used « and ». But you used „ and ”. Come, tell me, is is Switzerland? Bulgaria? Russia? :)

Ploum makes a very interesting point on his blog: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

They talk about examples like Google Chat being XMPP, becoming very big, changing the standards that look like other XMPP users/clients are subpar and then killing "federation" but no one complains because everyone uses their product, so it's not a big disruption.

While I don't think this is it, because Facebook is huge and ActivityPub isn't (XMPP was the most used protocol then), this happened and can't be ignored.

This happened to me with Jerboa, but it's a bug. Open your instance on the browser and click Subscribed to make sure it's working. They should show the same posts
