This has been said about #AP on a different network (by a person I consider to be smart):

"There are common algorithmic and cryptographic tricks these days that are worth their weight […] AP doesn't have anything that didn't widely exist in 1992. It's like the i386 of messaging protocols."

I am not sure how to make something better without giving feedback. Is there anyone who's working on a new generation of AP things and doesn't plan it doing alone? Or it's none of my business and shall I leave it alone? 😕
Apologies for pinging you, I probably shall look harder.
I am (or at least have been) somewhat active in and on matrix, and have seen both pros and cons of varius approaches there. I also have checked AP and see both pros and cons. I have observations what is good and what does it need, including the aforementioned recent tech in distributed messaging and crypto. I'm not yet sure how Spritely fits into this, I cannot really see what is _is_ yet.
it was meant rather a question whether anyone thinks of recent algorithmic and crypto wizardry and actually looking at the problems nearly all systems have and think about what could be fixed and how.
But it's okay, I let you do your work along your line of thoughts.
