When we first added ActivityPub support to Micro.blog years ago, I used the phrase “Mastodon-compatible” because I was worried that “ActivityPub” would be confusing for normal people. It now seems time to adopt “fediverse” as a term throughout our UI instead. Curious how Threads will handle this.

@manton I think “Fediverse” sounds perfect.

@vincent @manton I’m personally not a fan of “Fediverse” and prefer “social web”. But if I were naming that feature today I’d aim for more specific/accurate and go with “ActivityPub compatible” since that’s what it’s actually built on, right?

@jarrod I also prefer "social web", but I think "fediverse" is popular enough now that it's an improvement over "Mastodon-compatible". We may keep revising this.

@manton I think that's an extant term that's still relatively niche, but better understood than ActivityPub
