c) ActivityPub is off by default, not to mention d) how to turn it on which is anything but straight-forward.

Holly cow. I guess I'll stay on Friendica for the foreseeable future :D

To be fair, ActivityPub is off by default because it makes nomadic identity more difficult on the level that Zot6 offers. And it's off by default at channel level only whereas it's on by default at hub level.

With "anything but straight-foward", I mean it isn't like on (streams) where you have an ActivityPub on/off switch in the settings which is usually even on when you first discover it.

Instead, ActivityPub is an add-on, an "app" that has to be "installed". But newbies don't expect Hubzilla to have add-ons at all because Twitter has none, and Mastodon has none. And they certainly wouldn't expect ActivityPub, of all things, to be an add-on and off by default. In fact, most probably join Hubzilla in the belief that it is based on ActivityPub like "everything else" in the Fediverse.
