I noticed that some people on lens-protocol (decentralized social-media network) call it "open social".
Why that is relevant is — I have seen some try to use "open social" as an alternative name for the 'Fediverse'. But it "open social") seems to already be in use elsewhere.
We're committed to bringing together the top voices from across the fediverse because we believe knowledge and learning is the route to a true democratic social internet.
Hey, now you can ask people who federate but link to accounts that don't, to ask those accounts to also federate. Appropriate and genius cause who else could make the case better, or rude? #SocialWeb
I checked the official website of #OpenGraph (see: https://ogp.me) and I don't see the fediverse: namespace anywhere. Which means this fediverse: namespace is not an OpenGraph tag and will more likely not work without a proper prefix namespace, correct?
So, what am I missing here? People are already adding it. O_O
Update: Relevant thread/discussion about this fediverse: namespace.
Still want to replace liberal.city with a server name and network of users that could be much bigger and stand for a fedi culture that wants everyone here, as long as they don't harass people. Unpopular opinions and facts not currently widely accepted welcome. Not otherwise branded with any specific ideology or community. Anybody else interested? #SocialWeb
This is a really cool Social Web/Fediverse logo mosaic that imo. more people should know about and use! https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_mosaic.svg
Who did/do you follow from #xitter via https://bird.makeup that is now also on #threads and enabling federation, such that you can switch your following method? Not sure I can point to anyone that fits this pattern for me :( #SocialWeb
I actually have no idea how many boosts and favs some of the most successful posts get here in the Fediverse, because my instance shows a fraction of them no matter how successful they are. But guess what? I don’t care! It’s the best part here, to effectively unlearn that like-craving social media trait.
Everyone likes ”likes”, but in here it happens in our own terms and overall the metrics don’t really matter in the end.
Starting to get really tired of people telling me “how to use #SocialMedia.” I’ll post whatever the fuck I want, you don’t have to engage. Get the fuck off you high-horse about what is, and how should, social media be utilized. You’re doing nothing but sounding like a pompous prick to everyone else. :0450:
We’ve spent weeks researching the best contributors on Threads & Bluesky.
This week we’ve started reaching out to around 1,000 users across 10 pilot Communities on Threads & Bluesky, and from tomorrow we’ll be adding them to Newsmast Communities.
We’ve updated our app so users can block posts from one or both platforms in their settings, while users of our Community Feeds can simply block the @ap.brid.gy and @threads.net domains.
@molly0xfff is a leading cryptocurrency critic, but get to know her and you’ll see she’s anything but cynical about the future of the web. Hear why this researcher, writer and software engineer thinks so in this fascinating conversation with @mike:
People have email addresses like me@mydomain.com while also having a website at mydomain.com. What's preventing folks from also having a #SocialWeb account using me@mydomain.com? Would it just be confusing? Then there's all the different fedi services.
The vibes on Threads have been shifted. The For you feed brings up negative and controversial posts. Unsurpisingly no such negativity exists on my chronological feeds on Mastodon.
We can now connect to #BlueSky accounts from here, but both sides need to enable it.
We're supposed to be opt-out folks, but too many "safety" advocates are stopping the #SocialWeb from ever becoming ubiquitous. Imagine being so scared of "bad" speech that you demand users and server admins add each other's domain to their settings before they could communicate or even browse to those sites. We'd all still be on AOL.
