@EUCommission

Your focus has shifted to #Bluesky for #Microblogging to replace old twitter.

That means more attention freed for #ActivityPub. The future of #social networking is strengthening #human connection online.

Let's lead the way forward in how #technology can serve mankind, instead of mindless digital transformation that only serves #capitalism and the bottom line.

We can envision a #peopleverse together. A place where online and offline are seamlessly connected, not separate worlds.

Exactly! The conceptual design offers us "Actors exchange Activities". So granular that it can model about anything.

Yet we somehow ended up modeling only existing #SocialMedia esp. #Microblogging. That is weird.

My definition of #SocialNetworking:

- Any direct or indirect human interaction between people.

So *both* offline and online. And where that happens seamlessly is where I envision this as a #Peopleverse (sociosphere). Runs on the fediverse installed base (technosphere).

My dream on the future of online #SocialNetworking? Simple. One that supports #people and #humanity much better than it does now, so it actually serves mankind.

I want us to get past the madness of mindless #DigitalTransformation, vicious spyware metaverses, and hungry #AI. That's all hypercapitalism. Dehumanising us, eroding the #social fabric, so it can prolong itself and serve the elite owner classes.

#Peopleverse starts offline, where we're humans of flesh and blood, living our daily life.
