curious gargron, how do you define 'open social web'? is it activitypub, activitypub+atproto, activitypub+atproto+whatever else? i dont think theres a correct or wrong answer here, just that im seeing different people define the term differently, and wondering where you fall

@laurenshof@indieweb.social @quillmatiq@mastodon.social @mackuba@martianbase.net When I was using the term a relatively short period a few years ago, it was a less technical term for "the fediverse" to me. However, as soon as people started using it as an umbrella term for multiple incompatible technologies I moved back to using "fediverse". "Open social web" perfectly describes the abstract goal of where we want these technologies to take us, but it is too broad to be useful when talking about the technologies themselves in my view.
