So they aren't exiting the fediverse. The whole premise of the article is wrong.

I think "the Fediverse" is generally understood to refer to ActivityPub-based projects, or even more narrowly, "things that can be seen from Mastodon". At least I understood it as such, even if that's not technically correct.

Nah. Its federated services. Matrix is part I'd the fediverse. Email is too.

Wow! I didn't know that Google and Microsoft are huge fediverse supporters! Email lovers ftw!!!!!

As of August 2024, diaspora* is the only actively developed project classified under the tradition fediverse term that doesn't support ActivityPub.
