I'm not quite sure what the advantages are between one protocol or another, but I'm also not sure why there have to be two camps of development when one standard can be hashed out.

I do know that the status quo of having a single private company dominating the space is not ideal and would love to see any alternatives take root.

I should have put this in my last post: “Why not OStatus”, from the Tent authors themselves: https://github.com/tent/tent.io/issues/4

The tl;dr is that Tent is much broader in scope than OStatus while being, at its core, simpler.
