    ## 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

  2. The #history of #TwitterX migrations:

    * #Twitter Migration 1.0: Japan (2017?). They moved to the Fediverse
    * 2.0: Western world & other English-speaking countries (2021). To the #Fediverse
    * 3.0: UK (2024). To the Fediverse via #Threads
    * 4.0: Brazil (2024). Mostly to #ATmosphere via #Bluesky
    * 5.0: Global (2024). Mostly to ATmosphere, some Fediverse

    Keep it going!

  3. It's The #ATmosphere network, #Bluesky is just one of many #Federated "servers" running on #ATproto protocol.

    It's part of the larger/umbrella term #SocialWeb (a.k.a. #OpenSocial ) where the objective (s. 2005) is to #BringDownTheWalls (and #BuildBridges ).

    Who will take the challenge to write an article about it? Publish it on whichever platform you want, with your own chosen license (preferably Creative Commons).

  5. “A symbol for the fediverse ⁂”

    symbol.fediverse.info

    The way I understood it, this only applies to the ActivityPub-powered network called the #Fediverse (mycelium network).

    I can get behind it as long as it stays #ActivityPub only.

    - #MycelialWeb for all #DDFON .

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

    wiki.libravatar.org

    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).

  7. “Announcing Ditto”

    > Ditto is a Nostr community server. It has a built-in Nostr relay, a web UI, and it implements Mastodon's REST API.

    > Since Ditto implements the Mastodon API, it can work with any Mastodon app!

    > Users of Mastodon and Pleroma will be happy to see search functionality that actually works. 😂

    > Ditto is built in Deno with TypeScript. It's basically a REST API with a built-in Nostr relay. This is the same design as Mastodon and Pleroma, replacing ActivityPub with Nostr.

  8. @twen @smallcircles @BeAware @fediversereport @axbom

    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).

  10. I wonder when we'll see custom domain #WebFinger in the #Fediverse / #ActivityPub ?

    For example, I want to use:
    * @-live.youronly.one for my #Streams account
    * @-sns.youronly.one for my #Firefish account
    * @-photos.youronly.one for my #Pixelfed account
    * @-mblog.youronly.one for my #Mastodon account
    * @-reading.youronly.one for my #BookWyrm account

    Ideally, even if I move to a new host/service, I can use the same WebFinger.
