As you know I am proponent to emphasize the social aspects more, to drive healthy evolution of the #SocialWeb.
The app-centric #fediverse is a pure technosphere, where a tech-first approach deals with getting app features to the next app, and the #ActivityPub protocol matures via post-facto 'follow-the-leader' #interoperability. What happens in the sociosphere between people using the tech is de-facto of secondary concern, and apps are tweaked to try to deal with externalities. The resulting social landscape has become one of neighboring app kingdoms with guarded borders separating them. Everyone speaks microblog to each other, albeit with thick accents, hard to understand. The fediverse is social *because* of the people, and despite of the tech, that still severely restrains them.
It would be nice if the track name not just indicated a technology name. E.g. https://coding.social uses:
- Fediverse, a peopleverse
- #ReimagineSocial
- #SocialNetworkingReimagined
