Exactly! The conceptual design offers us "Actors exchange Activities". So granular that it can model about anything.

Yet we somehow ended up modeling only existing #SocialMedia esp. #Microblogging. That is weird.

My definition of #SocialNetworking:

- Any direct or indirect human interaction between people.

So *both* offline and online. And where that happens seamlessly is where I envision this as a #Peopleverse (sociosphere). Runs on the fediverse installed base (technosphere).

Twitterlike is a Bad Shape
"Twitter and its imitators have adopted a structural design that is fundamentally bad for people. This isn't just a matter of who's in charge; it's a problem with the thing itself. Forcing users to adhere to a tight character limit, discouraging link culture, preventing people from editing their own posts, steering people into sharing things they hate, incentivizing rage bait with trending feeds, subjecting people to decontextualized encounters, encouraging conflict by discouraging tags, and leaving users powerless to clean up the resulting mess—all of this is bad shape.

My dream on the future of online #SocialNetworking? Simple. One that supports #people and #humanity much better than it does now, so it actually serves mankind.

I want us to get past the madness of mindless #DigitalTransformation, vicious spyware metaverses, and hungry #AI. That's all hypercapitalism. Dehumanising us, eroding the #social fabric, so it can prolong itself and serve the elite owner classes.

#Peopleverse starts offline, where we're humans of flesh and blood, living our daily life.

What is the AT Protocol?

Wikipedia: “The #ATProtocol (Authenticated Transfer Protocol, pronounced "@ protocol" and commonly shortened to ATProto) is a protocol and #OpenStandard for #distributed #socialNetworking services. It is under development by #BlueskySocial #PBC, a public benefit corporation originally created as an independent research group within #Twitter to investigate the possibility of #decentralizing the service.”

Why Personal Websites Matter More Than Ever
"Look what we’re left with—no walled gardens. Just guard towers and searchlights and snarling dogs keeping us at bay."
"Personal websites matter - now, more than ever - because we can see, clearly, with our own eyes, what happens when a handful of companies control and own the medium and the message. " "I want a world where musicians don't have to tailor their music to the 5-second attention span of a million swiping doomscrollers and can instead rely on the support of an audience who care enough not to sleepwalk their way through the Internet."

Westenberg. · Why Personal Websites Matter More Than EverI don’t know why we talk about walled gardens. That seems to imply something beautiful, something worth defending. It conjures images of beautifully maintained flowerbeds protected from the outside world. But that’s not what Facebook built, what Instagram built, what Twitter built. They built paved, unshaded, barren hellscapes,

The opening sentence of this: "one of the most popular academic social networking sites is [ResearchGate]"

🤔 This may be factually correct but it really doesn't feel like it anymore. I always felt that RG was, frankly, $hit, but accepted that it appeared popular among scholars. But today? I rarely come across it.

The Now-Defunct #ResearchGate Score and the Extant Research Interest Score: A Continued Debate on #Metrics of a Highly Popular #Academic #SocialNetworking Site doi.org/10.1515/opis-2024-0011

De Gruyter · The Now-Defunct ResearchGate Score and the Extant Research Interest Score: A Continued Debate on Metrics of a Highly Popular Academic Social Networking SiteAcademics might employ science social media or academic social networking sites (ASNSs), such as ResearchGate (RG), to showcase and promote their academic work, research, or published papers. In turn, RG provides usage statistics and performance metrics such as the now-defunct RG Score and the Research Interest Score (RIS) that offer a form of recognition about a researcher’s popularity, or how research is being used or appreciated. As part of a larger appreciation of how ASNSs contribute to knowledge sharing, in this article, the RG Score is reappraised, reflecting on why this metric may have been abandoned while reflecting on whether RIS is any better as an author-based altmetric. Similar to the RG Score, RG does not transparently indicate the precise equation used to calculate RIS, nor is any rationale provided for the weighting of its four factors (other reads, full-text reads, recommendations, and citations), which carry a relative weighting of 0.05, 0.15, 0.25, and 0.5, respectively. Ultimately, the responsible use of RG’s altmetrics lies in users’ hands, although caution is advised regarding their use to formally characterize or rank academics or research institutes.

#ShowerThought :blobhyperthink:

It is interesting how dogmatic our thinking is. If I imagine myself as a person, my awareness. I have a set of senses, and through them I receive streams of information through time.. timelines. And I do social networking my entire life, since birth. Yet in no way does my world look anything like #Xitter, or even #Mastodon for that matter. My initials are A.S. and I just `as:Like` to `as:Note` this now and then. 😅
