#litepub's minimalist approach (less is more) helps to create a more secure social networking environment for everybody.

it gives users more control over the objects they publish by requiring object fields always be referenced by IRI. this means that users who want to keep some posts outside public view are better protected, such as marginalized users.

simplification of #activitypub messages makes mitigating spam and other issues more easy from a programmatic viewpoint.

simplification of the #activitypub S2S protocol makes implementation easier, which provides for a more robust ecosystem. the planned extension system allows for rapid iteration of extensions in a way that is compatible with #activitypub, allowing for development of features such as E2E encryption in objects.
