Fediverse. Also I hate that mastodon is seen as the fediverse. I had to explain to someone like they were a 5 years old I was using pleroma and they kept saying that no, I didn't understand, we're on mastodon. He didn't get the concept at all.
Would it be accurate to say anything that implements ActivityPub and communicates with other things using ActivityPub are part of the Fediverse?
@menturi @raccoon There is a bunch of other protocols other than ActivityPub who are also considered part of the fediverse: Diaspora, Zot, Streams, etc.
In fact ActivityPub wasn’t always the main protocol of the fediverse, it used to be OStatus. Mastdon was first build on top of OStatus before switching to ActivityPub.
But nowadays ActivityPub is by far the most used one.
