@fsf I _would have been interested_ in an ActivityPub Hour, where all the developers of this Open Protocol would have a chance. It is ActivityPub, the world’s leading federated social web standard. A recommendation by W3C.

@fsf Still find it weird that the name is based on the specific platform you're on, rather than the name of the network.Like, people from Pleroma, Misskey, etc... aren't going to see anything related to Mastodon.

@fsf > Using the term Mastodon instead of fediverseFor an organisation who's known for being very picky when it comes to using the correct terms, I honestly expect better. Please don't do this.

@fsf btw your GNU Social account @fsf is on the same network as your mastodon account. These are not separate, so there's no need for two different accounts.If you can't see/follow your GNU Social account from your mastodon one, it's because a couple of years ago most projects switched from the oStatus to Activity Pub protocol. AFAIK GNU Social kept ostatus, but added Activity Pub as a plug-in.So if you can't see one account from the other, maybe it's because you haven't got the plug-in enabled on your GNU Social instance. See https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/src/master/plugins/ActivityPub

@fsf I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Mastodon social network, is in fact, the Fediverse. Mastodon is not a social network unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning network made useful by ActivityPub, WebFinger, NodeInfo, and vital network components comprising a full SNS as defined by standards, done by the W3C and the IETF.Many computer users run a modified version of the Fediverse social network every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the implementations of Fediverse which is widely used today is often called “Mastodon”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Fediverse. There really is a Mastodon, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the network they use.

@spla @fsf That said I've seen way too many people refer to their installed system only via the name of the desktop environment…

@spla @fsf Which is why it was often called the GNU Social network (which was still wrong back then) before Mastodon came in.

@spla @fsf @lanodan It's not logical, or definitely not consistent, for an organisation who keeps pushing "it's actually GNU/Linux" and "it's actually Free Software"

@lanodan @fsf Let's not scare away users with terminology. I think it's fair to use the term #Mastodon for the micro-blogging section of the #Fediverse. Like we can use #PixelFed for the image-sharing one. Even though other implementations might eventually also support those features. As long as these terms are not capitalized on by the supposed owners, it's all ok. I agree we risk a #Jabber fiasco by doing this, but naming is hard and going with the names that organically come up is easy.

@stevenrooseno, this is the "saying open source is fine" argument. it's catering to people who don't care about values beside money.@lanodan @fsf

@shiftyskip @fsf Funny thing is, literally their own implementation GNU Social exists.

@stevenroose proponents of the term "open source" and the permissive licenses that come with it are often pushing this narrative that people shouldn't be confused by terms, that "free" in "free software" is somehow confusing, etc.free software isn't confusing, and it has a very different meaning from "open source". free software is primarily about keeping freedom, open source is (now, i won't blame the old bsd folks) primarily about making money and embrace, extend, extinguish.names matter. the name "fediverse" matters. be it pleroma or friendica or honk they as important as mastodon or pixelfed or writefreely. fediverse is a network based on a protocol, not on a specific software. calling it by the name of the biggest software is a disservice to the cause.@lanodan @fsf
