Stop describing the fediverse is Mastodon!
The social platform Fediverse is a collection of volunteer driven knots connected with open source protocols. Protocols are mostly free open source software. Developed by volunteers. Mastodon is one collection of software.
You should promote other software for fediverse also. To keep the idea and the stability of the federated Fediverse.

Unserious #ThoughtProvoker of sorts..
How about letting #AI - guided along by some protocol experts to formulate good prompts - maintain and evolve the open standard specs based on all the info the AI has sucked up from all the FOSS projects that are implementing #ActivityPub.
(Note that I am wary of AI for a whole host of reasons, mostly all relating to its disruptive introduction and its potential dehumanising effect, eroding social cohesion and connection between people.)
Fediverse & AI Coding Tools & Vibe Coding
...
I noticed 2 or 3 people lately using AI coding tools to create Fediverse software.
2 of them even seemed to be Vibe Coding.
...
I have been programming for over 30 years. I am probably not going to Vibe Code, but —
I wonder if we should help them.
There are tools we (Fediverse developers) could create to make it so others could Vibe Code Fediverse apps.

#snac, el más mejor servidor #activitypub del mundo mundial. Escrito en lenguaje C, el único y verdadero, es del tipo "instalar y olvidar" porque no da problemas y ocupa un mínimo de RAM y apenas CPU. Software como se hacía antes: óptimo.

If we enumerate possible design choices there are thousands of possible social media platforms - but is anyone actually good?
Are better experiences to be found within this vast configuration space or do we need a more fundamental rethink?
And how can we go about finding out?

Cryptographic public-keys are one way that one can have an identity (on the Fediverse, and elsewhere) while also having privacy — through a pseudonymous identity.
Yes, we have Fediverse IDs such as:
@joeblow@example.com
But a (non-delegated) public-key can function as a PORTABLE form of identity on the Fediverse.
