Back from lunch I regret to inform that I am not able to provide a good commentary on @catouma@qlub.social's presentation as I only barely passed Grade 9 French. 🥲

"What is the fediverse"?
Oh boy. The language we use matters.

Having some FOMO for FediMTL since it’s in my hometown.

@saskia@backend.newsmast.org going through many of the apps they've built for projects, institutions, papers, etc.
They all share a common thread, none of them talk about the fediverse, ActivityPub, Mastodon, Bonfire, etc.
They all also have split DMs away from the public feed. Heh

@julian Some great thoughts to chew on there.
Particularly with my current paper-in-progress being all about crafting your message for the audience.
Now churning away on how to choose the words in the vocabulary of municipal governance. Neither "fediverse" nor "open web" is a hook for them ... but they are coming to understand what "Open Data" means. They also have a view of what "social media" is, but WE don't want to use that, as we're trying to differentiate. What, then?

@evan@cosocial.ca asks for a show of hands of people who have quit a social network and later gone back.
More than a few hands go up.
"And this is in a room of people who are really good at quitting social networks... and making their own"
