I'm thinking of proposing a /social web community track at @COSCUP 2026 (Aug 8–9, Taipei)—think FOSDEM's Social Web devroom, but in East Asia. Before I submit the CFP, I'd love to get a sense of what to call it. What do you think?

(Boosts appreciated!)

As you know I am proponent to emphasize the social aspects more, to drive healthy evolution of the .

The app-centric is a pure technosphere, where a tech-first approach deals with getting app features to the next app, and the protocol matures via post-facto 'follow-the-leader' . What happens in the sociosphere between people using the tech is de-facto of secondary concern, and apps are tweaked to try to deal with externalities. The resulting social landscape has become one of neighboring app kingdoms with guarded borders separating them. Everyone speaks microblog to each other, albeit with thick accents, hard to understand. The fediverse is social *because* of the people, and despite of the tech, that still severely restrains them.

It would be nice if the track name not just indicated a technology name. E.g. coding.social uses:

- Fediverse, a peopleverse
-
