#XMPP wurde zwar als #Jabber ursprünglich für #InstantMessaging entwickelt, es ist aber schon lange ein universelles #Protokoll, welches auch für #IoT, #SocialMedia-Anwendungen, #VideoConferecing, #Blogging, #Gaming uvam. Verwendung findet, teils mit vielen Millionen Users.

Im Gegensatz zum AT-Protokoll ist es ein #Standard, #RFC612, und es ist einigermaßen einfach. AT soll wohl recht komplex sein?

Then, how about promoting #openStandards for federated #instantMessaging, such as #RFC6120, instead of sth. in the #bigTech #walledGarden of #AWS?

No. But! The good thing is, that we can learn from that incident and develop new anti-spam measures. There are already interesting ideas, e.g.

- rate limiting messages in MUCs, maybe depending on role and/or affiliation

- setting MUCs automatically to "moderated" if there is no admin present, or admin was not active for some time

- improve clients retraction features for mass retraction

- develop credibility mechanism for MUC users based on their history

It seems many rooms of #xmpp #jabber were attacked with spam. All the rooms that I joined are muted.

Ist diese #NINA Warn-App eigentlich #freieSoftware? #PublicMoneyPublicCode sollte auch hier gelten.

Bei mir ist die #Jabber #XMPP Message des NINA-Bots leider erst um 11:06 Uhr gekommen. Blöd, wenn es ein Katastrophenfall gewesen wäre, wo jede Sekunde zählt. Und die #Sirene habe ich nur gehört, weil das Fenster offen war.

## 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

🙂
