There are a number of social media use cases for which ample code can be found, but there is no appropriate classifier. Consider that the most popular RSS python library (feedparser) uses "Text Processing :: Markup :: XML" as its classifier, which is hardly the right mental model for someone looking for RSS-related projects. And granary, which exists to translate between different social networks has no reasonable topic classifier at all. This commit also adds a few social-specific protocols to the Topic :: Internet classification. Example projects that would benefit from this classification: * https://pypi.org/project/granary/ (Many social media protocols) * https://github.com/halcy/Mastodon.py (Mastodon) * https://github.com/kurtmckee/feedparser (RSS) * https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed (ActivityPub, Bluesky) * https://github.com/MarshalX/atproto (AT Proto) * https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm (ActivityPub) * https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl (YouTube) * https://github.com/InstaPy/InstaPy (Instagram)

Request to add a new Trove classifier.
The name of the classifier(s) you would like to add:
Why do you want to add this classifier?
There are a number of social media use cases for which ample code can be found, but there is no appropriate classifier. Libraries exist to interact with these social media services, but there is no classifier that makes sense and no way to find related projects using classifiers. Consider granary, which exists to translate between different social networks, but has no reasonable Topic classifier at all. And the most popular RSS python library (feedparser) uses "Text Processing :: Markup :: XML" as its Topic classifier, which is hardly the logical choice for someone looking for RSS-related projects.
This commit also adds a few social-specific protocols to the Topic :: Internet classification. I've drawn the distinction between specific implementations (e.g., Mastodon and Pixelfed, which both use ActivityPub) and the protocol itself (ActivityPub).
Example projects that would benefit from this classification:
