@fediversereport Does Bluesky really count as the fediverse?

@vitriolix

@fediversereport I say no (to me it has to use ActvityPub to be the Fediverse) but classify it as other federated social media. I don’t see it taking off like Threads. See the Skygaze announcement.

billstatler,

@vitriolix Depends on which definition of "Fediverse" you prefer. I've seen at least three in common use:

  • Anything that federates.
  • Anything that federates using ActivityPub.
  • Anything that federates using ActivityPub and isn't operated by a huge for-profit corporation.

I like the broadest definition myself. But I wonder whether the word "Fediverse" is becoming obsolete, as federated services diversify and boundaries blur.

@billstatler in addition to just federating I think it has more to do with not being controlled by one entity and adhering to open standards
