Matrix commenting might be interest, since it is able to federate / “bridge” with other chat systems. Not ActivityPub based, but it is both decentralized and currently supported to x-post to Matrix via [Chat Integration](https://meta.discourse.org/t/chatroom-integration-plugin-discourse-chat-integration/66522) plugin.

> Not currently integrated, it would be interesting to allow Matrix federated commenting at least on particular topics or categories. These comments are treated as a chat room within Matrix. Currently one-way #chat-integration is available for Matrix so perhaps there is room for adopting this two-way approach in the future. Could also serve as an alternative to [Babble](https://meta.discourse.org/t/babble-a-chat-plugin/87297). Placing here as an fyi. Cheers.
