@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.

@Gargron@mastodon.social I too have started separating "the Fediverse" from other protocol-based networks, like "the ATmosphere", but also say "open social web" as the combination of these spaces. I'm not sure anyone has decided if these terms have formal meanings, but I'm more than happy to use specific terms if we all ever align on them!
(I doubt we ever will, but I guess the chaos is kinda part of the fun?)
