fediverse, decentralized group of social media platforms in which each independent platform can interact freely with any other platform that is part of the group. Great that they have an article on it, though their formatting the start of each article like a dictionary entry is a bit odd compared to Wikipedia. If it were a Wikipedia article, it would probably need some copyediting to give it a more encyclopedic tone along with in-line citations.

Meta’s Threads is also working toward ActivityPub compatibility, which would significantly expand the fediverse user base. Um… fuck no, please and thank you!

How is the fediverse different from traditional social media? The fediverse is a decentralized network of social media platforms that freely interact, unlike traditional social media. I have a bit of a problem with the term “traditional social media”. The earliest popular form of social media was Usenet. The first one I ever used was web forums (run on phpBB or similar software). Those have a lot more “tradition” than Facebook or Twitter or TikTok, so why are they calling the latter three (deviations from the decentralized “tradition” of the Internet) “traditional social media”?! Is it just that they’re the first form of social media that the authors of that article ever used?
