Do we have a need for a good #Botiquette that can also be enforced or encouraged by the various social apps of the Fediverse?

What are your ideas and considerations?

Add them to the referenced Fediverse Futures SocialHub topic if you want them to be part of technical elaboration, if/when it comes to that.

The lack of deeper integrations between different app types and the federated identity issue (every instance their own signup and user acccount) form significant barrier to widespread collaboration is my general observation.

For instance in any well-received toot with a link to a SocialHub forum topic on average no one takes the effort to respond on SocialHub. Mostly the discussion remains microblogging, and then it sinks into history when activity peters out. The insights and collective knowledge isn't gathered and lost.

On the new Discuss Social Coding (that has not officially launched yet) I posted some notes on a particular challenge the fedi imho faces, that hampers adoption and poses growing risks in the future if not dealt with appropriately.

The notes leave a lot of things I've been looking deeper into unmentioned, but you may find them interesting nonetheless.

@[email protected] wonderful article highlights many points that need to be explored, challenges to be tackled, for healthy Fediverse Futures ...

Over the years, I've been studying a handful of different fediverse platforms that bring a lot of interesting concepts to the table.

As someone that has studied and reported on the developments of these various systems, I've decided to put together a summary of things I'd like to one day put into my own federated platform, should I ever develop enough brainpower to actually develop one.

Starting with the posted link and in more recent discussions of Standardising on ActivityPub Groups I have been advocating for some time to make "Community" a native concept of the Fediverse. Something that better represents communities in the real world: groups and individuals with intricate social relationships between them.

Why?

The following toot by @cicatriz_jdr provides one reason:

""... and these 'instances' are all on separate servers, so it's totally decentralized. but posts on one instance 'federate' with other instances, except when they don't, which basically half the time. now here's where it gets tricky...""

And the follow-up by @throwawaygiraffoid is more hilarious even:

"THERAPIST: And those ""instances"" are they ""federating"" with us right now?"

With a community-native fedi you can avoid talking on the INFRASTRUCTURE level..

Fediverse: Peopleverse!

"Yes, the Fediverse is an online world-wide social space where there are numerous communities where you can meet people. They all have different themes and activities and you just join where lies your interest. Or create your own community for your friends and family on whatever has your passion."

Interesting developments to bring Podcasting domain to the Fediverse. Check it out and add your related resources and/or experiences with the projects.
