afaik ap is not a hard requirement for being in the fediverse, matrix is often included because it has the same federation idea

Then email is a part of the fediverse? UUCP nets? IRC nets?

All federated, none speak AP.

I think a good working definition is "speaks the w3c standard AP". Otherwise, its totally lost its meaning.

D* generally isn't, excepting the few instances that also speak AP.
