Witnessing another occurrrence of the #ReplyGuy anti-pattern this morning inspired me to write some thoughts about this social behavior that is so common on our #Fediverse that is based on #PublicSquare#Microblogging mechanics.
On the #SocialCoding forum I created a category for #SocialExperienceDesign (or #SX) patterns, and the "Reply Guy" #AntiPattern is the first entry in what might be turned into a pattern library collection.
Some people prefer to talk about the "social web" instead of the "fediverse".
If you do, do you just prefer one term over another, or do you think "social web" could emcompass more functionality than what today's fediverse can do?
In addition to thinking of a #SocialExperience instead of an app, there was an existing field of #SocialExperienceDesign or #SX, that never picked up. I intend to use that term again, as it is ideally suited to keep the eye on the ball, as it were: the vision of a #Peopleverse we create together.
SX goes beyond UX in that regard, as a) UX has become too app-focused, and b) we don't objectify 'users' but care about people.
