## DDFON / Mycelial Web

Sometime in the early 2010s, I've been using DDFON = Decentralized, Distributed, Federated, Open Network.

In 2022/2023, I reopted the chosen new name for the Fediverse "Mycelium" since in the end no one used it (even after multiple votes and discussions). I now use it this way:

* DDFON friendly name is "Mycelial Web".
* Each network is called "Mycelium network".

Since a "mycelium" is a single network in real life and the plural of it (a collection of mycelium) is "mycelial".

## Open Social / Social Web / Open Social Web

There is also "Social Web" and "Open Social Web", which are the same actually. However, in the mid to late 2000s, it was already defined as any network that uses any technology that promotes openness and interoperability. There was also a now defunct organization called "Open Social" and a W3C effort supporting such technologies that falls under "Open Social".

Two examples of "Open Social Web" are Hi5 and Google Plus. Hi5 and Google Plus are not DDFON / Mycelial Web but are Social Web / Open Social / Open Social Web.

## Personally

I make a distinction between the much larger "Social Web" / "Open Social" / "Open Social Web" versus the more focused DDFON or Mycelial Web .

Underneath the DDFON / Mycelial Web label are the Mycelium networks like:

1. Fediverse (ActivityPub)
2. ATmosphere (ATproto)
3. The Federation (diaspora*)
4. Matrix (Matrix)
5. Jabber (XMPP)
6. NOSTRich (Nostr)
7. and others

🙂

#Fungi may not think, but they can communicate
Fungi form distinct networks depending on how food sources are arranged.
Fungi can be enigmatic organisms. #Mushrooms or other structures may be visible above the soil, but beneath lurks a complex network of filaments, or #hyphae, known as the #mycelium. It is even possible for fungi to communicate through the mycelium—despite having no #brain.

Ars Technica · Fungi may not think, but they can communicateBy Elizabeth Rayne
In 2010 (iirc), I simply called everything as #DDFON or the “Decentralised, Distributed, Federated, Open, Network”. It covers everything.

Last year, I started calling DDFON as #MycelialWeb and the different networks as #Mycelium or #MyceliumNetwork. This based on the idea someone submitted in my polls over the #Fediverse (sadly gone, the instances where I conducted the polls are now offline, thought there should still be some copy/archive somewhere).

In nature, a mycelium is a network of mycelia. And a collection of mycelium network is called mycelial.

So:
* #XMPP Mycelium network
* #Matrix Mycelium network
* #ActivityPub Mycelium network (or simply Fediverse)
* #ATproto Mycelium network (or simply #BlueSky / #Bsky)
* #Nostr Mycelium network
* #Diaspora Mycelium network
* and so on.

And together, these are called the #Mycelial Web.

If the above is confusing, another option is to go back to the umbrella term that was used since 2005, and somehow fell out of use: the #SocialWeb.

The umbrella term is: Social Web. And within it are the different mycelium networks. Or, “technically”, DDFON (Decentralised, Distributed, Federated, Open, Network).
