@rwg@aoir.social I would refrain from calling fediverse (or mastodon) a “platform”. It’s not more or less a platform as is E-Mail (or gemail for that regard). Facebook and X are platforms because they are closed gardens without interoperability, and the term was specifically coined to describe such services. The fediverse is a network, ActivityPub is a protocol and mastodon is a service within this network. @rra@post.lurk.org @commodon@sciences.social @academicchatter@a.gup.pe
