The Foundation: "The Fediverse, also known as the social web, is a network of independent social platforms connected by the open standard protocol ActivityPub."

@jfrantzius Please do some research, there were multiple "social web" (indieweb) standards developed by the W3C and released at the same time as ActivityPub. The situation is a lot more nuanced than you may know. There's no way I can cover all the topics and related issues in 500 character posts.

@steve Alright, I wasn't aware of those other W3C recommendations, sorry. The reason why I might never heard of them (or never realized they were W3C implementations) is probably that they only have few supporting softwares and few users, compared to ActivityPub / Mastodon, which seems also reflected in the Wikipedia article.
I wonder why you object to those synonyms for the present and future? Is it maybe that you feel a disregard for those other initiatives in the past? -
@jfrantzius @steve the W3C would promote protocols that are reliable then. And not just be a platform to boost the ego of some of their coauthor.

@jfrantzius @aroom Trolling aside... an ego-driven authority can be quite damaging, especially if they believe (at some level) they are doing good and represent the one true way. Make ActivityPub Great Again?

@jfrantzius @steve it's already damaging. and the fact that you're not aware of it is part of the issue.
