is there any set definition of the "open social web" that anyone is aware of?

@liaizon As far as I can tell, "open social web" is what commercial platforms like WordPress and Ghost use instead of "fediverse".

@silverpill there are a lot of different variations and groups using `words` in various ways. have you seen this initiative https://european.social

@liaizon Yes, what about it?
I see a bunch of startups that are trying to sell fediverse to eu governments.

@silverpill @liaizon Why sell something that is decentralized and beyond their control to governments that are, in fact, seeking something that runs counter to the very nature of the Fediverse?

@xailog @liaizon The idea is very simple:
- Find a grassroots ecosystem, which is not very well known to general public
- Start promoting it to general public, while inserting your name or brand in every communication.
- People not familiar with the ecosystem think that you are very important.
- You get accolades, invited to conferences, receive grants and contracts.
- Grassroots ecosystem slowly dies and is replaced by structures that you control.
- PROFIT
