"The terms social network and social media are used interchangeably now, but they shouldn’t be. A social network is an idle, inactive system—a Rolodex of contacts, a notebook of sales targets, a yearbook of possible soul mates. But social media is active—hyperactive, really—spewing material across those networks instead of leaving them alone until needed."

The Atlantic · The Age of Social Media Is EndingBy Ian Bogost

Exactly! The conceptual design offers us "Actors exchange Activities". So granular that it can model about anything.

Yet we somehow ended up modeling only existing #SocialMedia esp. #Microblogging. That is weird.

My definition of #SocialNetworking:

- Any direct or indirect human interaction between people.

So *both* offline and online. And where that happens seamlessly is where I envision this as a #Peopleverse (sociosphere). Runs on the fediverse installed base (technosphere).

My dream on the future of online #SocialNetworking? Simple. One that supports #people and #humanity much better than it does now, so it actually serves mankind.

I want us to get past the madness of mindless #DigitalTransformation, vicious spyware metaverses, and hungry #AI. That's all hypercapitalism. Dehumanising us, eroding the #social fabric, so it can prolong itself and serve the elite owner classes.

#Peopleverse starts offline, where we're humans of flesh and blood, living our daily life.

What is the AT Protocol?

Wikipedia: “The #ATProtocol (Authenticated Transfer Protocol, pronounced "@ protocol" and commonly shortened to ATProto) is a protocol and #OpenStandard for #distributed #socialNetworking services. It is under development by #BlueskySocial #PBC, a public benefit corporation originally created as an independent research group within #Twitter to investigate the possibility of #decentralizing the service.”

#ShowerThought :blobhyperthink:

It is interesting how dogmatic our thinking is. If I imagine myself as a person, my awareness. I have a set of senses, and through them I receive streams of information through time.. timelines. And I do social networking my entire life, since birth. Yet in no way does my world look anything like #Xitter, or even #Mastodon for that matter. My initials are A.S. and I just `as:Like` to `as:Note` this now and then. 😅

#SocialMedia is not #SocialNetworking but a particular subset thereof. I personally reserve it exclusively for the corporate #BigTech variant, because people have such strong associations. "Socials" and social media big techz.

The kind "that leads us to the complete unraveling of the fabric of #society and wars" to use the same ominous words of Tristan Harris, formerly at #Google as #Ethics adviser, in 2019 when he explained the new strategic direction for the Center of #HumaneTechnology to me.

@Gargron
The changes to the wording of the #moderation policies #Facebook and #Threads are deeply concerning to hear about, however, they feel more like they are openly admitting what has always been the case than any substantive change. The company has always had an internal policy, like most other corporate social networks, to allow #HateSpeech and other #misinformation to proliferate, as these drive the engagement metrics that drive revenue, on top of often aligning with the values of leadership.

At #TechHub, our policy has, so far, been a "wait and see" approach. We have not blocked Threads yet, but if the time comes when they do finally federate, if ever, we are committed to the plan of taking server level action should their lack of moderation become too much of a problem for us.

Either way, this only underlines the need to bring more people into the #Fediverse network, and away from the large corporate #SocialNetworking services.

Flipboard is embracing the Fediverse to become a "Fediverse browser." This shift aims to provide users with more content and creators with greater independence from major social media platforms. By integrating ActivityPub, Flipboard intends to enhance content discovery and curation, offering a more open and equitable social media experience.

Time Changes Everything Including Our Favourite Social Media

No-one ever thought MySpace, FriendFeed, Orkut, Google+, etc would ever be usurped, as they were amongst the biggest social networks around. But everything changes over time, and that includes all social networks as well as their users.
