@hisham_hm It is. There is a vague notion out there that you can be part of the "Fediverse" but not speak ActivityPub (e.g. Diaspora). I support a definition of "Fediverse" that directly ties to that protocol. Not doing so would mean we were all in the "Fediverse" since the 70's, rendering the fresh vibes that come with the words usage basically meaningless. Lets face it: email, XMPP, Matrix,... are all open, de-central AWESOMENESS! But they remain their own thing. That's my spirit.

@mray Got it. It's a fair argument (though I hear there are bridges between different protocols?) Just wanted to check if you're aware that the RMS-like tone does turn off a lot of people, which may or may not be the intention for an advocacy piece. GNU supporters haven't been good at outreaching beyond their own audience for a while now, so not sure if it's a good pattern to follow.

Hubzilla's main Protocol is Zot and ActivityPub support is a plug-in. And isn't enabled by default as far as I know.
Hubzilla by default is a part of the fediverse but not "activitypub network"

@mray@social.tchncs.de This is very cool, may I share this on other platforms?

@ueberlegend The wordpress site needs to have the plugin up and running. Don't know what it does though. I assume comments and following blogposts?

@mray Mattermost is an Open Source tool similar to Slack that you might want to consider including in the next iteration of your infographic - https://mattermost.com/

@richmccue Mattermost is nice, but it seems they don't speak ActivityPub 😐 . There basically is no way to connect to any project shown in the infographic. That's why I wouldn't consider them to be "Fediverse".

@mray This is the first I've heard of Bookwyrm, but I like the idea. Are there ways to import data from Goodreads onto it? (Unfortunately, as a writer I have to maintain a GR profile, to monitor my reputation... but I don't like it.)

@SpeedyService What kind of Fediverse software would you like to have exist? That graphic does not contain all of the choices. You can find more here: https://fediverse.party/en/miscellaneous/

@StampedingLonghorn @SpeedyService At one point I was thinking of working on a federated pinboard (to replace #Pinterest), but I'm too busy to manage that right now...

@mray as for anyone arguing the semantics of what IS the #fediverse, I think what you have is a great, generalized, easy to understand concept that AP connected applications are what are driving the current federated universe. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good, as they say:)

@mray @zeitverschreib lol there's a paid microblogging tool in the Fediverse? 🧐 |
