  • @csarven@w3c.social ActivityPub is far from perfect to model these interactions, and in that modeling we likely create all kinds of utterly poor abstractions of the real world :)

    But it is the creative process that matters. We have these imperfect social networking protocols for communication, and then all direct and indirect interactions between people are use cases of social networking that may be supported by these protocols. If not today, then maybe tomorrow as they evolve.


  • @csarven@w3c.social yes, you’re right. It’s more the perspective that I lightheartedly teased a bit with.

    Imho we are focused so much on what others have labeled “social media” and we create our decentralized version of what existed before. If all we have is a hammer, every problem is a nail. We had microblogging and now we add blogs and forums. Not bad, not at all.

    Yet social networking is what we did offline for 1,000’s of years. And now we have online channels to further enrich our human interactions.
