or: the many webs interpretation, what #web means to me, and how do we build the #socialweb

> we define "social web" as "people who want to be social on the web", but this probably depends on what you consider “web”, because we certainly already have many many ways to be social on the internet [...] i think that “web” means “anything with links”.

> in a more practical sense, it's “anything accessible by a web browser” [...] pull from those acronyms the “hypertext web”

felt like i should put this out there *before* futzing around with figuring out a better place for it. uri is obviously unstable but if/when i figure out a better structure i'll try to at least maintain a redirect or something.

@trwnh "unstable" uri is a good idea, putting that in the back of our mind lol

@nocebo someone i know has something very similar they call "odds" they just stuff random odds and ends into. i was thinking of calling it "misc" or "uncategorized" but eventually decided that "unstable" was better at signaling, at the very least, my *intention* of moving it someplace else in the future

btw there is probably a part 3 coming to this. part 1 is about fedi as social networking protocol vs social web publishing , part 2 is about defining what we mean by web (and by extension what we mean by social web), so naturally part 3 will deal with the “other side”: what is the actual protocol of fedi, and the pros and cons of actually defining fedi as a protocol. (i’ve hinted it might not be a desirable thing. time to show why or why not.)
