I'm thinking I might stop using the term #fediverse#fedi or #activitypub when I want to talk about this community of federated social media services.
It's confusing and to be honest sounds way too much like a corporate brand trying to sell something.
I'm thinking I might start using something like "open internet" in general and "open social media" in particular to make the point that fedi isn't some specific thing; it's the default social media for the open internet.
@doctormo@smallcircles I have been using “the social Web” to describe this because fediverse has too much metaverse ick sound and people already get the concepts of the Web.
On Nov. 27, 1978, the late Dianne Feinstein, then the 45-year-old president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and two-time failed mayoral candidate called a press conference to announce her retirement.
That afternoon, a supervisor shot Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey White.
Feinstein handled the moment with poise, and went on to serve 9 years as mayor and 3 decades in the U.S. Senate.
@manlycoffee A TikTok-like app cannot be built for the fediverse until there is a music licensing model to do so legally.
As an individual, I can buy a song download and sync it to my video, but if I post the video online, I will be sued for illegal distribution by the record label and not having sync rights by the publisher. Every server operator receiving the video would be liable as well.
Ideally, we need a legal framework like what DMCA did for online radio royalties.
