#Plativerse – #Platforms bridged to interconnect with the #Metaverse of #Mastodon and the rest (using ActivityPub or alternatives). So bridged Twitter is a #Platstance? 3/4

New words to think about in 2023: 🧵
#Platformdammerung – Twilight of the Platforms.
#Plativerse – #Platforms bridged with the #Metaverse of #Mastodon.
#Fiddleware – Federated #Middleware user agents. https://techpolicy.press/into-the-plativerse-through-fiddleware/ 1/4

We're already moving toward a #Plativerse (fediverse that includes platforms) organically, in limited form, by applying adversarial interoperability (via @Doctorow@twitter.com). Because these bridges are still crude, Twitter is effectively a huge instance (#platstance?) but poorly federated.
