I have not seen an article but in December I followed a conversation by @evan (a creator of #ActivityPub), which prompted me to look at the AT Protocol FAQ. My interpretation of their argument for a new protocol was 1) perceived security risks when migrating between servers and 2) disliking the Activity Pub username convention. I want to be charitable but it seems like grasping for straws.
