Also it's worth noting that Protocol Labs (the ones who invented and develop #IPFS) has hosted over the years a lot of conferences about research on protocols, check their YouTube channel, it has a great variety of high-level content:

The focus of Protocol Labs, rather than supporting the world of cryptocurrencies, is to promote the development of protocols rather than services. #ProtocolsOverPlatforms #ProtocolsOverServices

We can say that #Fediverse is precisely this concept: a set of protocols like #ActivityPub as opposed to a centralized service.

Also notice that many are interested in taking advantage of IPFS both in #Matrix and in the Fediverse, in particular in #PeerTube that is currently based on #WebTorrent but it could also take advantage from IPFS deduplication and ease of helping with seeding.
