@spitz @olivier Eventually Benjamin, one of the main developers, completely rewrote the communication stack. I can remember sitting together with him at the C3 in Hamburg (not sure which year), talking about possible protocol extensions, which I then implemented in Friendica on the fly. Fun fact: With the exception of the polls, Friendica supports more parts of the Diaspora specification than Diaspora itself 😁

At that time I had the idea to abandon our own protocol (DFRN) and to completely switch to Diaspora. But there were some things (like our groups), that weren't implemented in the protocol. Also then ActivityPub got momentum and I started the implementation. And later Friendica switched to AP as their default protocol. But we still - of course - support our own protocol and the Diaspora protocol.
