I perceive 3 fediverses..

fediverse-we-have: Has proven it works, and has delightful #apps to show for it.

fediverse-we-need: The future of #SocialNetworking, where it pervasively serves #people and #society at large.

#fediverse-we-get: Still unknown.

Imho the trajectory of #development of the fediverse-we-have does not lead to fediverse-we-need.

Fediverse-we-get on this path is either a nice #SocialMedia niche for a time, or eventual corporate capture and takeover. A corporate #SocialWeb.

I got kicked off LinkedIn this week. Apparently there was "suspicious behaviour" on my account. To get back in, I needed to go through Persona's digital ID check (this, despite the fact that I've got a Persona-powered verification on my LinkedIn, less than six months old).

After looping around many times identifying which way up a picture of a dog was and repeatedly photographing myself, my passport, and my driving license, I eventually got back in. Personally, I suspect they just rolled out some Online Safety Act functionality and it immediately tripped over my unusual name.

But let this be a reminder to anybody who (unlike me) depends upon their account in a social network: it can be taken away in a moment and be laborious (or impossible) to get back. If you care about your online presence, you should own your own domain name; simple as that!

#SocialCoding commons is a movement of people interested in exploring the more #social sides of decentralized #SocialNetworking environments and focuses on building solutions that serve people’s needs: social experiences. For this we explore a methodology called Social experience design ( #SX ) tailored to cocreating Sustainable open social systems ( #SOSS ) in order to deliver services for the #SocialWeb. A fediverse that goes “beyond the app” towards a #peopleverse that serves our daily lives.

Seeking interop testing for geosocial ActivityPub client

Hey, all! I’m seeking some help testing an application I whipped up for the Geosocial task force of the W3C Social Web Community Group. It’s called https://checkin.swf.pub/ , and it’s a barebones checkin service, similar to Swarm, but implemented as a pure Web client. You can watch the application in action.

Some thoughts on the challenges of adding reliably-private social networking to the fediverse;

SocialHub · The Challenges of Adding Reliably-Private Social Networking to the FediverseThere’s a reason both the OStatus fediverse and BlueSky started as public-only networks. It’s much easier to build software for public discussions than for private messages. For a start, there’s a whole lot less to build, especially when your software is intended to work in a decentralised network. But more importantly, there’s a whole galaxy of Trust & Safety and security headaches you don’t have to deal with. Posting to a traditional web forum is widely understood to be making a public state...

Just replied to #SocialHub discussion to @evanprodromou #FEP on #fediverse support for long-form text.

There's a broader discussion that the #ActivityPub dev community isn't really addressing.

Nowhere in the #W3C specs is defined that #Microblogging is the foundation of #SocialNetworking. And certainly not #Mastodon's app-specific interpretation of this domain.

The entire AS extension mechanism is overlooked, and that leads to a massive ⚒️ Golden Hammer anti-pattern.

"The terms social network and social media are used interchangeably now, but they shouldn’t be. A social network is an idle, inactive system—a Rolodex of contacts, a notebook of sales targets, a yearbook of possible soul mates. But social media is active—hyperactive, really—spewing material across those networks instead of leaving them alone until needed."

Exactly! The conceptual design offers us "Actors exchange Activities". So granular that it can model about anything.

Yet we somehow ended up modeling only existing #SocialMedia esp. #Microblogging. That is weird.

My definition of #SocialNetworking:

- Any direct or indirect human interaction between people.

So *both* offline and online. And where that happens seamlessly is where I envision this as a #Peopleverse (sociosphere). Runs on the fediverse installed base (technosphere).

"Twitter and its imitators have adopted a structural design that is fundamentally bad for people. This isn't just a matter of who's in charge; it's a problem with the thing itself. Forcing users to adhere to a tight character limit, discouraging link culture, preventing people from editing their own posts, steering people into sharing things they hate, incentivizing rage bait with trending feeds, subjecting people to decontextualized encounters, encouraging conflict by discouraging tags, and leaving users powerless to clean up the resulting mess—all of this is bad shape.

My dream on the future of online #SocialNetworking? Simple. One that supports #people and #humanity much better than it does now, so it actually serves mankind.

I want us to get past the madness of mindless #DigitalTransformation, vicious spyware metaverses, and hungry #AI. That's all hypercapitalism. Dehumanising us, eroding the #social fabric, so it can prolong itself and serve the elite owner classes.

#Peopleverse starts offline, where we're humans of flesh and blood, living our daily life.
