@evan Yes, but Mastodon changed protocols once already. It may be that another protocol change happens in the future and this community we call fedi is still relatively intact after a shift in technology, and no longer tied to ActivityPub.

@evan I've been trying to use the words "connected component"

@mcc a useful concept!

@skyfaller so, for you, the Fediverse is about Mastodon?

@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?

@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?

@skyfaller so, it's about having the same people for you? "Fediverse" is the name of the community, not the network?

More than 50% and more than a million votes. Call that a Mamdani Mandate. Alliterate their asses.

The "make child abuse legal for parents" amendment also passed overwhelmingly. Texans disgust me, sometimes.

74% of Texas voters are fucking morons.

Don't let the excitement over Mamdani's win get in the way of joy over Cuomo's loss.
