I encourage everybody to adopt the following pattern, when talking about ActivtyPub:

• Use W3C ActivityPub, when referring to The Specification and its consequences
• Use ActivityPub for referring to what is actually implemented in the Fediverse

If it's important what you mean by ActivityPub, use more clarifications, e.g. Mastodon-ActivityPub.

@helge for what is actually implemented in the fediverse i would use the term "fediverse", or with clarification "mastodon protocol". i don't think it serves well to muddy the waters between following the spec vs following what others have done (which are generally not the same).

Bad idea. The Fediverse is already ambiguous enough. Suggesting using it to also mean a protocol just creates a mess.

@helge there is no singular fediverse protocol and there cannot be. "fediverse" is a collective/umbrella term. the protocols are "mastodon protocol", "lemmy protocol", "funkwhale protocol", etc, and they partially overlap.

@helge I support this
