On advertising, the Fediverse, and what a more human social web could look like.

midzer@Profpatsch Nice read :)
For me, current web is too *fast* also. Lacking "real" communication and dialogue, even on the fediverse.
I am lurking in forums and real-time-chat channels on IRC/XMPP way more often now.
🫧 socialcoding..Great article @Profpatsch and thank you for mentioning my article. Social experience design uses the notion of Personal social networking to think about solution design and social network evolution, which considers offline social contexts and societal constructs we are familiar with. The online world becomes an extension to that.
For that first step I think of Actors as providing Services and acting *on behalf of* people. Services can be composed, orchestrated, and choreographed to deliver social experiences that satisfy people's needs.
An Actor has an identity, but it is not tied to an account or even a person. How they relate is solution-specific. Hashtags too are solution-specific. But standardized reusable building blocks can be used in interoperable message exchanges.
Microblogging as is implemented now is app-centric and represents standing on a soapbox at Trafalgar Square as your default mode of comms. Service-oriented social web may have topical Discussion services.
