Would mastodon be considered part of the smolnet? If not, what besides twtxt?

@idx Well, like Gopher and Gemini, it’s a space that is used by a small group of hobbyists, and is a space away from the toxicity of the WWW. Gopher has Gopherholes, Gemini has Capsules and Telnet/SSH has BBSes · 11 months ago

@cobradile94 telnet itself is a part of the smolnet? Howso? Any cool servers out there that isn't a BBS? · 11 months ago
ActivityPub is a decentralised protocol that mastadon as well as many other fediverse services use under the hood. In that way, I guess if you count activitypub as part of the small net then yes.

I don’t even know if I’d count twtxt, since it still uses HTTP. To me, the Smolnet refers to smaller internet protocols, like Gemini, Gopher and Telnet. Mastodon *might* count since fediverse is also a protocol from what I’ve read, but most people access it through the WWW, right? · 11 months ago
I would not consider mastodon as part of the smolnet :)
For me station (here) and the tinylogs format are the gemini answers for microbloging / social · 11 months ago
