I encourage everybody to adopt the following pattern, when talking about ActivtyPub:

• Use W3C ActivityPub, when referring to The Specification and its consequences
• Use ActivityPub for referring to what is actually implemented in the Fediverse

If it's important what you mean by ActivityPub, use more clarifications, e.g. Mastodon-ActivityPub.

@helge for what is actually implemented in the fediverse i would use the term "fediverse", or with clarification "mastodon protocol". i don't think it serves well to muddy the waters between following the spec vs following what others have done (which are generally not the same).

[helge@mymath.rocks]

Bad idea. The Fediverse is already ambiguous enough. Suggesting using it to also mean a protocol just creates a mess.

[trwnh@mastodon.social]

@helge there is no singular fediverse protocol and there cannot be. "fediverse" is a collective/umbrella term. the protocols are "mastodon protocol", "lemmy protocol", "funkwhale protocol", etc, and they partially overlap.

@helge I support this
