@evan Is the World Wide Web no longer the Web because we are browsing HTML 5 instead of HTML 4? What about the brief XHTML / semantic web period? If the same people using the same software use a different protocol, why does the name for what they're doing need to change?
@evan No, I'm just using Mastodon as an example of a popular fedi software that used to run on a different protocol.
Do you think the OStatus predecessor network was meaningfully different in character than the present fediverse? It seems like the same idea, just not implemented as well, and more narrowly focused on microblogging.
Could you call the OStatus network an early fedi? Could a new protocol with similar values and goals still be meaningfully fedi?

That will force them to design better code. Or pick a different career field altogether. π€£

Here we go! Big Techβs cozy relationship with the #Trump regime has now reached everyoneβs inboxes. #Google turned over Gmail data to #ICE without the students permission or knowledge.
