AP is a weird mutant protocol lol, StatusNet/ GnuSocial is basically RSS based, but the limits of RSS became very apparently, i have a lot of issues with how Mastodon and other AP based platforms talk about think about developement, in many ways i think they are unnecessarily limited by the protocol, like in terms of the platform as such there's lots of things you can do in terms of what you do with the information once you get it, there's also no reason you can't just also integrate RSS and email into the platform -- like the US that accesses the AP account can also manage RSS aggregates or provide a webmail frontend, Diaspora support or webmention are also not that hard to implement, i think the pubnix model of having a server that hosts a number of services is more the way to go... or Hubilla and how they used ActivityPub just as a 'transport layer" and use their Zot protocol for things like identity management and migration
