Come help us with the reboot of SocialHub, this is and has always been the vision. I’m 100% on board with making SH more fun! I am after all a member of fediverse.party, and the creator of the Freudian Typo of the Week : P. How about some new categories specifically for new implementers to compare notes, or for things like novelty implementations? We’re totally open to ideas.
It’s hard to know what to make of this in the absence of definitions of each. From context, I’m guessing that for you Social Media = Datafarming corporate platforms, yes? How would you define Social Networks?
I tend to use both terms in their original usages (circa early 2000s). Where “social media” is open publishing with comments (blogging, vlogging, code forges with built-in bug tracking etc), so anyone can publish media and get rapid feedback. While “social network” covers any tool that enables regular interactions between people who know each other, 1:1 or in bounded groups (email, IM, group chat, web forums, link-sharing, etc).
By those definitions the current fediverse is a mixture of both. It’s heavily weighted towards social media, but there’s a lot of work being done to extend AP (in FRPs and SocialCG taskforces and elsewhere) so it can offer more social networking features.
To be clear, we don’t disagree here, I’m just slicing the onion on a different angle
