I'm Arnold Schrijver (he/him). Social coder. #FOSS, #HumaneTech and #Fediverse advocate.

I help foster #Solutions that improve #Wellbeing, #Freedom and #Society

I'd like to "Reimagine Social" and envision the rise of a #Peopleverse where social networking is seamlessly entwined with daily life. I'm dreaming of opening up #innercircles .. but let dreams be dreams, giving guidance at best :)

I'm thinking I might stop using the term or 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.

Am I wrong?

@doctormo

Don't think you're wrong. As long-time fedizens we are kinda used to hear fediverse / fedi. To the uninitiated it sounds weird and off-putting.

I avoid "social media" (media too much associated with broadcasting, selling your message), and use "social networking" there, which we also do offline for ages already.

Instead of I increasingly refer to open/decentralized , which makes it more broad and inclusive (e.g. different network stacks than -based).

@Jeremiah @doctormo

Zuck poisoned the well, long after we invented the fedi 😬 There's also the US association with The Feds.

Then there's dominance of Mastodon that newcomers see as the name of the social network.

And for new types of applications that do not fit microblogging new names are invented, such as Threadiverse for forum and link sharing type apps.

At least you may say "Threadiverse is part of Fediverse", where masto is completely replacing the term.

All that doesn't help clarity.

@doctormo @phiofx

I am using another term , but not with intent for that to be a real name. More a vision for an online landscape that seamlessly aligns with our offline world and is in support of our daily lives.

@activitypubtestsuite I collected all recent discussion around #ActivityPub testing I could find and collected it in a #SocialHub wiki..

@erlend thanks.. it was more dilligence and grit to keep the chore going 😅

With all of the fediverse tech from Lemmy and WriteFreely to Pixelfed and Mastodon it seems like nobody has considered an ActivityPub Marketplace.

We need to bring Craigslist into the fold.

Have a look at this proposal at : https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-0837-federated-marketplace/3501

Several years in the making, GitLab is now very actively implementing ! 🙌

https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247

The end-goal is to support AP for merge requests (aka pull requests), meaning git.alice.dev can send an MR to gitlab.com/Bob/project.git

First bite-sized todo on the implementation path there is ‘subscribe to project releases’.

Smart move by GitLab; through ActivityPub they’re getting a distributed version of GitHub’s social layer.

@Brendanjones @erlend @fediversenews

A good site for background is https://forgefed.org where a specification for an AP extension is crafted. Implementers of the spec can exchange merge requests between code forge softwares. Another forge that has received @NGIZero funding to add federation support is Gitea. It's downstream fork Forgejo is also working on that.

On the Gitlab epic the question was asked whether @forgefed support is planned.

I chose the original logo, which is just a recolorization of an SVG Gem emoji from Wikimedia. Then an adaptation was made. Am on mobile now, can't check whom to credit. See main codeberg repo :)

Some fediverse instance admins: “How cool, Meta invited us to the adult table.”

Yes, they did.

Because you’re what’s for dinner.

Hänsel and Gretel, don't go there. Fedi lies beyond!
