I'm not even referring to voting in general, but the freedom and/or limitations imposed on it. Neither up/down votes should be limited (rather both, if at all), centralization encourages censorship and should be done away with for good as well as moderation (another word for censorship), "categories" (subreddits, subverses, whatever the fuck you want to call them) should be re…

@speeddefrost "Nobody needs 'microblogging', they want socialization"
Thanks for the reminder.
For me this is the last drop to cause renaming of "Microblogging system" references in #AndStatus into "Social networking site".
I think the "site" term sounds simpler and closer to what !andstatus currently lists as "Microblogging systems", than "server", "instance" or "service"?!

@andstatus @blogrobatik@gnusocial.blogrobatik.de Please see clarification to the question in a message I'm replying to.

@mk I'm not calling "GnuSocial" a site. I'm calling "Quitter . se" a site. I think for 95% of users it _is_ a site ?!
-
@mk "system" is a good term. I don't like "Microblogging" part, because I believe that the main reason we are here is really "socializing" (interacting), not "blogging" (telling) ?!
-
@andstatus Yes. Each Quitter.{no,es,se} is a site, node or instance.
The word "system" could work for #GNUsocial in its entirety (but then I'd prefer "network"). .)

@mk I remember Pump.io users strongly disagree with calling Pump.io a "Microblogging..." and told it's a "Social network" :-)

You see, no system, supported by #AndStatus, calls itself (micro)blogging nowadays...

@aroque @roland @mmn @mk Yes, now I also see that "Social network" is applied not only to "GNU Social" federation, but to a single "instance" of it. Every single "server/service" is a network of people, collaborating with each other...
