Gregory's Server@davepeck Same functionality though even if different protocols, or also additional functionality?

 @davepeck Fediverse functionality today is basically follow, post, reply, like etc.: a fairly small set of features along the lines of Twitter. When you think “social web”, do you think it’s the same set of features (but maybe using also protocols other than ActivityPub), or do you think the social web has / should have more features? If so, which? @J12t Hrm… I guess I use “social web” as a broad umbrella term to encompass both today’s functionality (fediverse, indieweb, etc.) and tomorrow’s potential. I have no doubt we’ll see new capabilities both at the protocol layer and above. I do think the stagnation of email protocols (IMAP, maybe SMTP, etc) is worth considering, though: it becomes harder to stretch the underlying protocols if there are 500lbs gorillas (Gmail… maybe Threads?) that aren’t invested in stretching themselves. |
@J12t Sorry, not quite sure I understand the question you’re asking…
