No please - Fediverse is the correct expression. @evan

in reply to Hiker • • •@hiker @Huubje if weβre being pedantic here, then Outlook is a bad example. A good example would be using the word βescalatorβ instead of βmoving stairsβ.
For non-tech people, the chance of the word βMastodonβ ringing a bell is much higher than βFediverseβ.
In day-to-day interpersonal communication the goal is to be understood, not to be as precise as possible.

So it doesnβt matter if you are spreading fake newsβthe main thing is that it gets understood?
Thatβs complete nonsense.

in reply to Evan Prodromou π¨π¦πΊπΈπ¬π·π΅πΈ • • •- Mastodon for the Mastodon app + API
- Fediverse for the larger ActivityPub ecosystem & people
- Social Web is mostly interchangeable with Fediverse / ActivityPub, but sometimes I also use loosely to include others depending on audience π

Social web is easy to understand for people that never heard federated social media.
It avoids people into thinking fediverse as if it was some scammy crypto project.

(no, "Fediverse", because I understand that "Mastodon" isn't accurate/correct.)

in reply to Evan Prodromou π¨π¦πΊπΈπ¬π·π΅πΈ • • •fedi and #SocialWeb. shocked that so few use SW.
maybe I should use a different term tho since I don't want us thinking of it as separate. imo it's an attention layer for the web. any digital work we publish should be boostable. when that mindset takes hold, the closed platforms will seem anachronistic.

in reply to Evan Prodromou π¨π¦πΊπΈπ¬π·π΅πΈ • • •Mastodon is the gateway term. Even technical people have an easier time wrapping their head around a single service than the idea of multiple types of interconnected apps.
If they get curious, I will go into the Fediverse.

in reply to Benjamin KwiecieΕ π΅πΈ • •@Benjamin KwiecieΕ π΅πΈ @Evan Prodromou I usually call it the fediverse or fedi, especially since I'm not on mastodon.* If asked what that is, I will typically offer, "a largely volunteer-run decentralized social network of which mastodon is a part." I don't want to perpetuate the misconception that Mastodon is all there is to the fedi.
* I technically still have an old Fosstodon account that I fall back on when I'm having server issues, but it doesn't get much use.

in reply to Evan Prodromou π¨π¦πΊπΈπ¬π·π΅πΈ • • •It depends. Conversationally, it's Mastodon, because people have heard of it and I use it, and there's a "but also not necessarily Mastodon" footnote that's a great foot-in-the-door for the ActivityPub conversation even for non-technical people. But I use Fediverse more commonly in structured work.
I hate "Social Web," because it sounds like a euphemism for the "five websites sharing screenshots of the other four" thing, and the web is much more than conversations.
