@piefedadmin This is very much a massive violation of the transparency, trust and privacy of users on the #Fediverse.

I've been uncovering numerous #aiagents and #aiprofiles on the Fediverse that do not disclose they are automated accounts, and trying to pass themselves off as regular users. Those accounts are complete violation of the rights of the #Fedizens to maintain their privacy and the autonomy of the information they share.

This is actually a worse violation.

A very important side note about #Fedi & #Fedizens: we are all here because we are not all there.

That is, there are platforms w/in the fediverse which match the ones you already publish on - like #Peertube, #Pixelfed, #Loops, #Lemmy - only without spying on your audience. They have the same kinds of #APIs, you can integrate them into your distribution process for timely posting.

And reach an electoral market which is politically active and ideologically aligned.

Even more remarkable is the near complete absence of the #ActivityPub developer community in mingling in the social side of the discussion.

To learn how #fedizens actually *experience* this here fediverse. A #fediverse which results from them tying their apps together, to hopefully get more than the sum of individual parts. By means of facilitating #interoperability, technically speaking. But it involves more than getting that feature across the wire to the next app.

There's exists a clear gap between #sociosphere and #technosphere, where the latter must serve the former to bring real solutions. Otherwise it is all apps and not much seamless social fabric to navigate. No peopleverse anywhere in sight. Just apps and users of them.

The apps see great success, and I enjoy their use a lot. But I don't see a future for the app-centric fediverse where it comes to providing mankind the future of #SocialNetworking.

@unattributed exactly.

I practiced myself in avoidance of the term, and found that to be refreshing and lending a different perspective.

"Users" carries an aspect of depersonalization, but also implies an ownership relationship that creeps into the developers thinking, and even where the noble ones say "I serve MY users" it has consequences to the entire dynamics around software dynamics, and how the solution deliverable is able to serve the needs of different stakeholder groups.

Social experience design focusses on needs-based development and starts to consider problem statements first for all identified stakeholders in the solution delivery process.

For fediverse I use #fedizens on occasion, the residents of the fedi universe.
