  1. Talk about #DDFON (Decentralized, Distributed, Federated, Open, Network) (friendly name: #MycelialWeb), the latest iteration of #Libravatar is now using a federated software.

    I think it has been that way after the service was transferred to a new team.

    Having said that… what if #ActivityPub or at least the various platforms connected to the #Fediverse mycelium network, use Libravatar?

    For this to work though, Libravatar would have to be updated with a new verification process to handle the non-email ActivityPub webfinger. (And I'm not sure if there are other stuff that has to be updated/added.)

    If my memory serves me right, #Friendica and #Hubzilla are already doing this, although as a plugin the admin can toggle (but based on the email address attached to the account).

    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).
