@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?)

@laurenshof@indieweb.social @quillmatiq@mastodon.social @mackuba@martianbase.net Well, Threads is part of the fediverse, whether people like it or not, it natively speaks ActivityPub. Should be in that left corner.

It does not natively speak ActivityPub. It can optionally bridge to the Fediverse.

Its core codebase is not “an ActivityPub server” and does not internally use AP objects for everything.

@Gargron@mastodon.social @laurenshof@indieweb.social @quillmatiq@mastodon.social @mackuba@martianbase.net What even about diaspora and those other protocols? We need to understand what the Fediverse was, and revive what it truely was
