Various projects on the open social web are working towards private data, whether that's @Mastodon getting funding for adding E2EE, Lemmy's upcoming 1.0 release featuring private communities, or Bluesky's work on expanding atproto with permissioned data.

Bounded communities with private data using open protocols sound quite like @matrix however.

I'm taking a closer look, as this comparison turns out to be quite a lot stranger than expected

yes there are two different use cases or goals here. groups/messaging vs public attention/conversation. imo confusion over this is both wasting development resources and leading to unnecessary arguments re moderation. we need to be more clear about this and agreeing on specific terms might help. microblogging is a bad term that makes us think in silos when the killer AP app is the boost and we should be boosting photos, articles, podcasts, videos, music etc.
