Aww yiss. No worries, though. #Mastodon is my primary home. But it's good to diversify. Let's not put our eggs in one basket ever again. :P
(I'm not putting much effort into #Threads though. Already has that corporate stink about it. 🤢)
There's content you want to see but which doesn't make Meta money.
There's content you don't want to see, but which makes Meta money.
They're trying to strike the right balance between maximising profit while not having you leave.
Don't expect your interest to line up with that of any corporation.

Our podcast about the fediverse, Dot Social, is one today! 🎉 It’s been such an honor to host the builders of the social web on this show and to learn from them. We have one more episode coming up in 2024 (read the blogpost to find out who @mike will be chatting with) then rest, then back at it in 2025.

"Decentralised social media is more than just a technical shift; it's a step toward restoring autonomy and trust in our digital lives, empowering individuals and communities to connect without compromising their values or privacy."
A study by the Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford finds that decentralised social media leads to citizen empowerment.

Last Week in the #ATmosphere:
- 20 million accounts on #Bluesky
- #Threads is taking the competition with Bluesky serious; Bluesky might be closer in size to Threads than thought
- experiments with visualising the firehose
- and a ton of links

ちょっと追記、
この観点でいうと、自分から見ると #BlueSky は結局「#BlueSky へおいでよ」にしか見えないんだよな…
その点、 #Mastodon 
は 「 においでよ」とは言ってない。
あ、いや、言ってるかもしれないけど、それだけじゃない。
別に じゃなくてもいい、#Misskey 
でも #Pixelfed 
でも #Threads が #ActivityPub 
に完全対応すれば #Threads だっていい。
「#X から #BlueSky に大移動！これからは #BlueSky の時代！」とか「いまこそ #Threads でインフルエンサーになっておくべき！」みたいな「どこの #SocialMedia にいくべき」みたいな語り口をみると、たとえるなら「いつまでメールのプロバイダーはどこがいい、みたいな話するつもりなのか。全部メールなんだからメールでいいじゃん。」みたいな気持ちになる…
この「メール」という上位の言葉にあたるのが #Fediverse なのであって、いまは便宜上それに対応しているサービスとしてないサービスがあるから #Fediverse って呼んでるだけで、つまりは汎用的な相互に連携できる #SocialMedia のことだし、しかもその仕様は ちゃんと #W3C で #ActivityPub という形で標準化もされてるわけで、さらに実際にそれで連携したいろんなサービスやソフトウェアが存在している（#BlueSky の #ATProtocol とはちがって）んだから、これからはそういう「標準化されたソーシャルメディア」の時代にしようぜ！という気持ちのほうが強い。
全然追記がちょっとじゃなかった…
やっぱり「#X から引っ越す」ということになると #BlueSky が選ばれやすいんだろうなー
分散型といいつつ実際には 1 つのサーバーに集中してるし、そうなってることで #X から引っ越してくるユーザーにとっては分散型がどうとかプロトコルがどうとかそういう #Twitter 時代にはなかった概念を覚える必要もなく使えるし、なおかつ UI も #Twitter にかなり寄せてある。
リアルな引っ越しでも、言葉とか習慣が違う慣れない土地より、土地勘のある場所のほうが気楽だろうし。
#BlueSky にいまひとが増えてるというのもまた「人が多いところにだったら行ってもいい」みたいな、誰もが持ってる「群にはついていきたい」という気持ちが背中を押すところもあるんだろうな…
そう考えると、自分は #Fediverse という夢をみているのかもしれない。その夢を重ねてこの場所を見ているから素敵な場所に見えているのかもしれない。
でも #Fediverse は夢としてはなかなか悪くない夢だし、実際のところ現実に今存在する というこの場所は、なかなか良い場所なんだよ、少なくとも自分にとっては。
たとえ人が集まらなくたっていい、なぜなら #ActivityPub でほかのサーバーとも繋がれるんだから！というのは、なんというか、すごく肩の荷が降りる世界観なんだよな…
もう、どの #SocialMedia に登録してる・してないということを気にしなくていいんだ… 
みたいな気持ちになるんだよ。
それこそ、#X にいこうが #BlueSky にいこうが #Threads にいこうが、それぞれにいるアカウントはどこからでもフォローできるんだ、という世界観。
分散型がどうとかプロトコルがどうとか、本当は自分もそういう話をしたいわけじゃなくて（そもそも自分もそんなに詳しくないし）、そういう #SocialMedia 同士の壁が無くなる世界観の話がしたいんだよな、きっと。
#Threads はやっぱりはやく #Fediverse に完全対応してもらいたいなー（計画ではいつころなんだっけ…？

#Threads
❌ Algorithm-first, making it more difficult to be discovered
❌ AI-powered moderation with little transparency or accountability
#Bluesky
❌ Owned by VCs and crypto bros with no clear revenue plan
❌ One investor away from becoming Twitter 2.0
#Mastodon
✅ Community-owned and billionaire-proof
✅ No ads, no tracking, no algorithms

If the top 10% posting on #Threads and #Bluesky federate/bridge, you can basically get all the content on #Mastodon & #Fediverse.
Maybe with a certain follower number you could get bridged auomatically, @snarfed.org? Could be a middle ground between all opt-in vs. all opt-out?
On the #Vergecast @imdavidpierce said something like: On every #SocialNetwork 90% of the users read, 9% post a bit and 1% post almost everything.
This does sound right, and for #Mastodon, #Threads and #Bluesky it would mean, that they don't need to be connected fully. 👇🏼
Allein, dass es #Meta in all den Jahren nicht geschafft hat, #Instagram, geschweige denn #Threads mit einer #iPad-App zu versorgen, ist ein absolutes Armutszeugnis. 🤷♂️

@pallenberg 👍 Ich war anfänglich auch recht gehyped auf #Threads. Aber irgendwie ist es eingeschlafen — ganz automatisch. Im Nachgang war ich vom Algorithmus einfach wieder überfordert.
Das #Fediverse bindet halt schon sehr. Hab mich selten so lange in einer Plattform wohlgefühlt.
Am Tag, an dem der #BGH sein Grundsatzurteil zum Schadenersatz, nach dem millionenfachen Datendiebstahl bei Facebook spricht, erklaere ich, warum ich #Threads & #Facebook verlasse 👉 https://www.metacheles.de/warum-ich-facebook-threads-verlasse/

Why am I here and not on #Bluesky or #Threads? Because here I am on my own instance, hosted in the EU, and not on a centralised service from the US (which both Bluesky and Threads are) where soon a Trump government is installed that can easily force both Bluesky and Threads to hand over full access to all my data (I am quite sure Musk is already offering the X/Twitter social graph to Trump). That's my personal risk calculation. Yours might be very different. And that's perfectly fine! 1/3
Mark Hamill joined Bluesky.
Stephen King joined Threads.

Has your research institute or University joined the Fediverse as yet? How about suggesting to do so? Maybe set up a server yourself, with their permission? We can all contribute to building the Fediverse. This is the best way to build a true social web.

The SOCIAL WEB in the future (I want to believe):
- It doesn't matter, they all connect to each other, use whatever service you prefer.

So, when #Bluesky get's its first big problem and subsequent exodus, will #Mastodon be ready and have #StarterPacks by then? Because, they are really a gamechanger in #onboarding and when migrating en masse.

If you add all the #TwitterAlternative s, they have been in the lead for a while now.
If you add @Flipboard and sum it up wit #Mastodon (because #Fediverse 😉), then #Facebook ist not far.
But, if you have a look on the numbers since the beginning of 2022, then it's clear, that this is mainly a story about the decline of #Twitter.

But I forgot, that's not just via @heiseonline, but also @heisec, @ct_Magazin, @heiseautos, @iX_Magazin etc. (but for Twitter its the same).
#Bluesky is way behind, #Threads even more. Only Twitter is clearly falling.

Jenže. Na Mastodon chodí furt těch stejných 20 lidí.
A to mě taky vnitřně moc nebaví, protože si pak chodíš poplkat o tom, jak Sparta je super a jak Zátopek zaběhl na Olympiádě.
Všechno 50x dokola a trošičku se tu profiluje bublina lidí, co sdílí stejné názory, volí stejné strany a ještě k tomu používají linux.
Takže, #threads určitě opouštím a jdu si zkusit #bluesky

A najednou mě přestalo bavit na #threads chodit a psát.
Nemá smysl si totiž s lidmi o čemkoliv povídat, protože je dost možné, že daný názor zastávají jenom kvůli komentářům.
Nemá smysl někoho litovat, protože to možná napsal jenom kvůli lajkům.
A u psaní příspěvků mám nějakou vnitřní brzdu: Bude to mít dosahy? Komentáře? Lajky?
Nesmysle na internety píšu, protože mě to vnitřně baví. Samozřejmě mě baví i reakce od čtenářů... Ale co je moc, to je moc. 🧵 ⏬

Odborně se tomu říká "engagement bait".
Lidi na #threads píšou, aby dostali lajky, shlédnutí a dosahy. A hodně rychle zjistili, že toho dosáhnou nejlépe tím, že se pokusí nasrat co největší okolí kolem sebe.
Když tě totiž nasere post typu "Zeman byl nejlepší prezident ČR" tak vlezeš do komentářů a dáš nasraný komentář.
A já mám dosahy. Heč!
Heč?

Když totiž nálada nejen díky kimchi vystoupila na vrchol, tak jsem po asi dvou letech absolutního nepití dostal upřímnou chuť na pivo.
Navíc v hospodě čepovali taky osmičku, takže mi to připadlo jako bezpečný pivo, který bych si tak nějak vyzkoušel.
Ten nával alkoholu do hlavy? Ten absolutní a okamžitý pocit alkoholu v hlavě? Zjistil jsem, že mi to vlastně vadí. A celkem mi to přišlo líto.
Protože přesně kvůli tomuto pocitu to pivo a alkohol pil. A teď? Teď mi to už jen vadí #threads 🧵 ⏬
Mastopivo, Threads a tak vůbec. Asi dlouhé vlákno. Začíná tady, byl jsi varován. #threads
Na Mastopivu se stalo spoustu zajímavých věcí. Nakonec jsem se rozhodl trochu víc se rozepsat o dvou, co se tak trochu doplňují.
Nejenom že si @danielsnor objednal kimchi na ochutnávku, ale také se mě zeptal, proč jsem vlastně na Threads.
Na pivu jsem mu odpověděl stupidním bullshitem. Ale od té doby nad tím přemýšlím...🧵 ⏬
Another week, another increase for @heiseonline
#Mastodon keeps growing (the last time, we got this much #traffic, was at the beginning of the year), #Bluesky, too. No big jumps, but we'll see, where it leads.
#Threads still brings very little, #Twitter stays weak.
As always, this is the traffic to heise.de via the different social media platforms.
Edit: In the graph, Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads are stacked together (as they are they biggest Twitter-alternatives).
2nd Edit: Graph added.
Twitter’s decline has sparked interest in alternatives like #Bluesky, #Threads, and #Mastodon.

excited for the next Threads fediverse update (seeing the initials of the first 3 people who liked your post)
#MASTODON vs #THREADS Engagement Experiment
Followers:
Mastodon 1,031
Threads 26,800
3 posts at the same time on each.
Mastodon: 62 Hearts 24 Reblogs 4 Replies
Threads: 2 Hearts
26x followers! Bupkis.
Follower counts & the active users on a platform **DO. NOT. MATTER.** if the #algorithm doesn't bless your posts.
Let your creative friends know, Threads (and #Twitter / X of course) are not the solution.
The most recent #update for #Mastodon has reached three fourth of the followers from @heiseonline, patching the #preview-bug for them. So we should see most of the traffic coming from here again. Yet, the number of visits from the #Fediverse to heise.de hasn't really grown that much.
At least, the three #Twitter-alternatives are again bigger than #X, which keeps declining.
In sum, the four networks deliver half as much traffic than #Twitter alone in the beginning of 2022.
Das jüngste Update von #Mastodon hat etwa drei Viertel der Follower von @heiseonline erreicht und damit auch der Patch für den #Preview-Bug. Wir sollten also wieder so ziemlich alle Klicks sehen, die aus dem #Fediverse zu heise.de führen.
Aber so richtig zugenommen hat die Zahl der Zugriffe trotzdem nicht wirklich.
Wenigstens lagen die #Twitter-Alternativen in Summe vergangene Woche wieder mal vorn (was sie immer öfter tun). Das liegt auch am Sinkflug von #X.
Wonder how custom emojis made on Fedi appear on Threads! 🤔
They haven't turned Fediverse sharing on. Another small confirmation of zero intentions to make BlueSky open platform
I'm seeing claims that the algorithm on #bluesky is better than the one on #threads. is there a default algo run by BS on there? I've heard you can choose to use one and customize it, but is there one turned on automatically for all new users? we know most won't make that extra effort to change that or even care much about who and how people are trying to manipulate them. Algos are powerful in that they let others control your attention. Bad for democracy. Their presence is tempting to assholes.

自分の #Threads タイムラインに、こういう系の話題が流れてくるんだけど、なんかちょっとこう、テキストで書き残すには主語が大きすぎる感じの話が多いなーと思ってしまう。とはいえ自分も何か書けば他人にそう感じさせる文章になる（というかすでになってる）だろうなーとおもうのと、そういうことをそういえば #Twitter 時代に結構書いてたなーと、なんかすこし懐かしい気持ちになった。
「プロなら〇〇使えて当たり前」とか「Web デザイナーはコーディング出来るべきか否か」とか。
個人的にもその話題は嫌いじゃないんだけど、結局これって、主体者のタイプとか環境とかによって答えが変わるから、個人の主観の話にしかならないんだよな〜。
でもそういう n=1 の話をもっとたくさん聞きたいという気持ちも一方ではあるし、だったら個人の主観でみんなが書けばいいじゃん、なんだけど、テキストでそれを書こうとすると主語が大きく見えすぎてしまって「そんなケースもあるのか〜」じゃなく「そんなことはない！間違ってる！」っていうコミュニケーションを生み出しがちなテキストベースソーシャルメディアあるある

Please don’t link to #Threads. Drop their #fediverse link by all means, just don’t make people put #Meta websites in their browser.
#SocialMedia のモデレーション、最近はほとんどがユーザーのためというより、サービス側の都合が色濃く反映されてるケースが多い気がする。
発言するユーザーの母数を多くして、その中からスパムとかノイズを排除してユーザーがより興味のあるものを優先して見せる、というやり方は、実現すればサービスの強みになるし実現させたいのはわかるけど、仕組みがハックされやすいし、最近あんまりうまく機能してない印象。
#Threads はそもそものノイズのフィルタリングに苦労してるみたいだし、#X なんかはもう金を餌にノイズを集めてるカオスな感じだし。
だったらもう #Mastodon みたいに、インスタンスごとにクラスタの属性をはっきりさせて、そこから適度に分断したまま、同じインスタンスにいるユーザーとかフォローしあってるユーザーとのつながりを軸にゆるく他のインスタンスと連合している状態で時系列で流れるタイムラインを眺めていたほうがよっぽど平和だと感じる 
スパムアカウントをみんなで報告・ブロック・ミュートするのが #Mastodon #Fediverse
スパムアカウントじゃないのに何故か BAN されちゃうのが #Threads 🧵
スパムアカウントと共にインプレッションと金を奪い合うのが #X ✖️

朝見かけた記事はちゃんと読んでみたら、モデレーションがおかしいというのは、投稿の治安が悪いとかそういうことじゃなくて、アカウントが間違って BAN されてしまうみたいな事例についての話だった。
なんか #Threads のタイムラインがカオス、みたいな話が近い人から最近複数聞いたので、そういう話かとタイトルで勘違いしていた
#Threads のタイムラインがいろいろ荒れていて #Meta がハンドリングに苦しんでるみたいなニュースを見たので久しぶりに #Threads の自分のタイムラインを眺めてみてるけど、とくに変に悪化した印象はなかった。アカウントによるのかな。
#Fediverse #Mastodon みたいに時系列・自分が明示的にフォローした人だけ見える Following タイムラインだけ見てればよいのではという気もする。
おすすめされることに慣れすぎてしまうと、その仕組みに乗っかろうとする変なアカウントとか、ネガティブ感情を煽ってその仕組みをハックしてインプレッション稼ごうという人が出てきちゃうので、自分のタイムラインは自分でお掃除して、自分の心の安定は自分でつくる！守る！という気持ちとアクション（自分にとってよくない情報は積極的に Block & Mute とか）が大事な気がする
#Threads が #Fediverse に完全に対応しちゃえば、自分はおそらく #Fediverse 側からしか #Threads を見ないだろうし、#Threads が For You タイムラインの取り扱いに苦しんでても、じつはあまり自分にはそもそもあまり影響なさそうな気はしている。
ただ、#Threads からは #Fediverse はまだ見えないし、 For You タイムラインがデフォルトで表示されるそこにいると、たしかに居心地はあまりよくないんだろうけど…（つまりは、#Threads もいいけど居心地悪いならみんな #Fediverse においでよということなんだけど
🧐 So, uh…why has the mood changed so suddenly on #Threads? How has Meta dropped the ball at this pivotal moment for the nascent social network?
Meanwhile, other social networks and the #Fediverse as a whole are kicking some serious ass. It’s a real shift in a short amount of time from just earlier in the summer, and I’m here to talk all about it…and how much I just love #Mastodon 4.3 + @TangerineUI 2.0. 😍

The #fediverse has been better than other social media options for following info on the #hurricane. Follow hashtags like #HurricaneMilton, #Milton, #Tampa, #Florida, #flwx.
#Threads & #bluesky are pretty useless since they lack good support for search and hashtags. #Twitter & #Facebook are full of misinformation, even about the hurricane.

@mosseri Throttling sharing to #Fediverse means that #Threads users will be prevented from meaningfully participating in realtime discussions on the Fediverse. Oh wait, they can't anyway. Nevermind.

Bakgrunnsbildet fant jeg på #Threads av alle steder fra en konto som kun deler kule bakgrunner.

Hey @jay.bsky.team, can you please encourage #bluesky users to enable the #ActivityPub #ATproto #bridgyfed connection in the same way that #threads does with federation? maybe also add some notification on user accounts to show that they have enabled it? please and thank you. #SocialWeb

Non-threads fedi is slowly deflating so the overall effects of federating with #threads are:
i quickly checked and the info here is accurate, it seems. another reason to defederate from threads and #fediblock those who do
@[email protected] · Reply to 🦢 Lalah Lover 🦢's post
any other reaction than running at a full sprint from a rabid animal means death
if my analogy seems a little dramatic: #meta #threads fully intends the death of #mastodon #fediverse
if again, that seems a little paranoid and hysterical: everyone needs an appreciation of what meta is, what it is driven by, and what it does. as fully evident
Funny thing is #Meta can't stop being a cartoon villain character long enough for the #socialweb guys to defend themselves.
They're like, "#Threads isn't so bad you guys, they actually--" BREAKING NEWS ZUCKERBERG CAUGHT FUELING AI SUPER COMPUTER WITH BABY ORANGUTANS
Curious to know the thinking/decision process behind showing the text "from 50 servers" 🤔
It does give the impression that many people are connecting from multiple servers, further educating folks about the Social Web. But do people need to be aware of them?
#Mastodon なんかは時間制限なくあとから編集できて、かつ編集履歴も残るけど、 #Fediverse ⁂ というか #ActivityPub で繋がる他サーバーにおける自分の投稿の編集操作の同期は他サーバー側の挙動に依存するんだっけ？（なんかそんな情報を昔見た気もする。幻かもしれない）
#Threads はいまのところ、投稿の編集が可能な間は #Fediverse へは投稿を発信せず、投稿の編集ができなくなって内容が確定したタイミングで #fediverse に共有されるようになってるのかな
@[email protected] · Reply to GENKI's post
ちなみに自分の #Threads のタイムラインはそこまでひどい印象はなくて、ちゃんと好みの情報とかアカウントにフォローとか Like とかリアクションして、また不要な物とかをミュートとかすれば、それなりに自分の心地よさは確保できそうな印象ではある（あんまり頻繁には見てないけど）

Ugh. Threads keeps adding Fediverse features that are only benefitting themselves.
They can now see our usernames if we follow them and if we like their posts.
Still can't mention us or follow us back...which is the main part that's keeping their integration from being functional.🤦♂️😩
I just want open communication across platforms dammit. It's not that hard. It doesn't take a whole year. One man did it for a platform that he doesn't even work for, in just a few months!
Registrerte meg på #Threads ikveld, fulgte alle mine gamle Instagram-venner som er på #Threads (39 stk) og la ut et par innlegg, men altså.
- Feeden er automatisk full av folk jeg på ingen måte følger eller har tenkt å følge.
- Man kan kun bruke en emneknagg per innlegg.
- Jeg kan ikke federere brukeren min.
Dette er jo bare Instagram i litt ny forpakning... at folk gidder.
I wonder if #Meta will make this data publicly available for all users (as in I can see the same information on other accounts)‽
It would help determine how many #Threads accounts are on the #Fediverse.
👉🏾 Threads users can now see who follows them from other fediverse servers https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/01/threads-users-can-now-see-who-follows-them-from-other-fediverse-servers/ 🔛 @TechCrunch
Threads not federating posts for 15 minutes after they posted is wild
They keep releasing apps that 'cross-post' to Threads and Mastodon and I feel like this is a solved problem if Threads ever gets around to federating in the other direction
I've seen lots of takes regarding threads.net starting federating and what that might imply for the #Fediverse lately (I'll link a few at the end of this thread).
I'd like to discuss and address some of the points that have been raised over and over in one single place:
1. for #Facebook/#Meta this is not really about us fedizens
2. thou shall not gatekeep!
3. block those who don't block (please don't)
4. they can already get our data (not legally, no)
1/N
I forgot that Threads developed its own tagging system outside of more common hashtags used elsewhere.
I remember the back and forth about it when they rolled it out, and personally not being that bothered by it.
Most of the time, tags are used within a sentence so it isn't noticeable. However when added to the end of a post like this example and pushed to the Fediverse, the result can seem confusing.

@fediversereport the Brazilian government could follow this example instead of empty words about digital sovereignty.
P. S. Its account on Threads is still closed for platforms compatible with Activity Pub.

#Brazil #digitalsovereignty #Threads #fediverse #Lula #Mastodon #ActivityPub
#SocialMedia #Twitter #Musk #Threads #Mastodon #BlueSky #EchoChamber: "Data from Similarweb shows active daily users in the UK have dropped from 8mn a year ago to only around 5.6mn now, with more than a third of that fall coming since the summer riots. The same thing is happening elsewhere, and not just in places where the platform has been banned, such as Brazil. Over the same 16-month period, X’s active users in the US have fallen by about a fifth.
As disillusioned X users become, yes, ex-X-users, they are finding their way on to alternative sites. With Mastodon having proved off-puttingly techy for many, that tends to either be Meta’s Threads app, or Bluesky, the platform that Twitter founder Jack Dorsey helped to start. But while the former is winning in terms of absolute numbers — about 1.4mn daily active users of Threads in the UK, compared with just over 100,000 for Bluesky — it is the latter that has grown the most rapidly over the past six weeks, and that is cementing itself as the top choice for media types, policy wonks, academics and the broader chatterati.
That there is a new place for such people to congregate is all well and good, but the problem is that the chatterati — very nice and non-conspiracy-theorising and non-overtly-racist though they may be — tend to coalesce around some quite similar viewpoints, which makes for a rather echoey chamber."

There's something I've been wanting to talk about for awhile.
Quote posts, limiting of quote posts, and how those features might be added to core AP.
As it is now, the way Threads does quote posting is when a person adds a link to another Threads post, it automatically turns into a "quote post".
They also have the option to limit posts from being quoted, which in turn completely stops anyone on Threads linking to that post.
To me, that is wild, but I can see it making sense on a closed platform.
However, given the way Fediverse works and a ton of people have their own instance/website, I think it would be absolutely asinine to attempt to stop someone from simply posting a link to another post.
Links have been part of the internet for awhile now and there's no other platform that stops people from using links, AFAIK.
So, to those working on AP, please consider another route for quote posts because if I cannot link to something on my own website, I'll be pretty livid honestly.
Do you use Flipboard to stay up on the latest news in tech? If so, your experience just got better. Now you can follow people on Threads and Mastodon, like Marques Brownlee, Mark Cuban, David Imel, Kara Swisher, and Taylor Lorenz, right from your Flipboard, and get their latest social posts on all things tech.

So... Has anyone on here actually talked with the people from the #SocialWebFoundation?
I can tell the #Mastodon Organization has, but #Threads is also listed there, while I don't see any other names that aren't some corporate entity. I'm all for groups that want to expand the #Fediverse, even for-profit ones, but it's a red flag when an organization that purports to be for a general movement doesn't have an open line of communication with rank-and-file server-runners and volunteers...
Edit:
I just realized that it was founded by @evan who is actually very active in mainstream Fedi, and one of the maintainers of the actual protocol. While that doesn't elaborate on actual intentions, it is good to know that at least it's someone who is directly involved, and not some random corporation. #EvanProdromou
I'm curious on thoughts. Since #Mastodon grew a bunch when #Twitter effectively died, then #Threads came along from #Meta, which platform do you prefer and use more? I'm also curious on the why too.

This in-depth interview with Mark Zuckerberg is fascinating. And awful.
He thinks AR glasses will — maybe not _replace_ your phone — but be a new interface for your phone, through which you see and interact with the world.
Meta is having another shot at AR glasses.
They've learned nothing from previous failures. They are doing a rerun of Apple's AR glasses failure.
The article is co-written by Nilay Patel who acknowledged Apple's AR glasses are a technological marvel, but showed they're a steaming pile of shit simply by trying to use them an asking what they're for.
I think Mark Zuckerberg accepts that people should be paid for their work, but he says that doesn't apply to work he doesn't value. And, on that basis, he thinks it's okay for Meta and AI companies to steal everyone's work and scrape everything they can from the internet. It's just that he doesn't see the value of other people's work. This a moral failing of techbro capitalism.
Mark Zuckerberg's talk of the Facebook feed is illustrative of where his vision of AI is headed.
First, the feed was based on what people chose to see in their feed.
Then, he said the Algorithm knew better than people thought they knew about their own preferences, and that justified cluttering your feed with algorithmic garbage.
Now, he says the AI knows better than people think they know about their own preferences, and that justifies cluttering your feed with AI garbage.
Extrapolating from Facebook to other Meta products and the Internet in general, Mark Zuckerberg thinks Meta knows better than you about what you need to see.

It seems people are growing tired of engagement baits and algorithms on Threads. Wtf, come here then?
Kinda weird seeing some people on Threads say "I'm sharing to the Fediverse!" but they're totally not...😳
That's the major issue with Threads implementation.
People just assume posting there by default is "on the Fediverse".
🤦♂️
🌳It's a little wild to go into #Bluesky, and see posts from my bridged Open Social #fediverse account, quote posting an item from #Threads. That's an exciting amount of interoperability.
Hey, GenX Brits. Do you want to relive the existential terrors of your youth? Of course you do!
It is, astonishingly, 40 years since Threads exploded onto British TVs and this Saturday Radio 4 is devoting an hour to discussing the film and its impact.
I wish there was an easy way to browse threads Fediverse content.
I'm sure there's many accounts that have federated that I'd enjoy, but I don't know they're federated or even know that they exist.
Same for bluesky.
I could go there, but there's no way to tell who's federated.😩
It’s going to be strange when Threads has full on integration with the Fediverse
@[email protected] · Reply to fedipact.online's post
this is why many people who're so adamantly against federating with threads are so goddamn ANGRY
we're so fucking tired tired of having our safe spaces -- our refuges against queerphobia -- ripped away from us
queer people, outcasts, weirdos, etc. -- we built this fucking network. we laid the groundwork for its very existence and now you're trying to tell us we don't matter, that we should just give it all up in the face of some evil megacorp. well fuck that
we're not going down without a fight
you have NO IDEA how full of queer neurodivergent leftist furries this place was before y'all showed up. no goddamn clue. that was this place's shtick for the longest time
this is the sort of virulent transphobia that is allowed to exist on Threads. stuff like this actually literally gets people killed. why should we federate with a platform that willingly tolerates such hate speech?

They actually did it....you can now include a link in a Threads post that directly brings up the fediverse sharing option. Making it just a bit easier to get people to participate. 🎉

@beadsland A friend sent this:
From Mastodon (and Fediverse generally I presume?), one *can* follow someone at their Threads account, but only if they have activated mirroring on their Threads profile. (And the feature is enabled where they live.)
If they do that, then it will work to paste their [email protected] into the "Search or paste URL" box in the Mastodon web interface.
Here is the Threads documentation: https://help.instagram.com/760878905943039/ #feditips #threads #lazyweb

Strategies for the free fediverses
https://privacy.thenexus.today/strategies-for-the-free-fediverses/
EDIT (March 19): I updated the definition of "Meta's fediverses", and added to the list of strategies
The fediverse is evolving into different regions
""Meta's fediverses", including Threads, instances using services from Meta such as automated moderation or ad targeting, and instances harvesting data on Meta's behalf
"free fediverses" that reject Meta – and surveillance capitalism more generally
as well as many instances that don't fall into either of these categories.
The free fediverses have a lot of advantages over Meta and Meta's fediverses, some of which will be very hard to counter, and clearly have enough critical mass that they'll be just fine.
Here's a set of strategies for the free fediverses to provide a viable alternative to surveillance capitalism. They build on the strengths of today's fediverse at its best – including natural advantages the free fediverses have that Threads and Meta's fediverses will having a very hard time countering – but also are hopefully candid about weaknesses that need to be addressed. It's a long list, so I'll be spreading out over multiple posts; this post currently goes into detail on the first two.
Opposition to Meta and surveillance capitalism is an appealing position. Highlight it!
Focus on consent (including consent-based federation), privacy, and safety
Emphasize "networked communities"
Support concentric federations of instances and communities
Make it easier to move between (and create) instances
Work together with people and instances in Meta's fediverses and on Bluesky whose goals and values align with the free fediverses
Consider "transitive defederation" from instances that federate with Meta
Reduce the dependency on Mastodon
Start moving beyond ActivityPub
Build a sustainable ecosystem
Prepare for Meta's (and their allies') attempts to paint the free fediverses in a bad light
Prioritize accessibility, which is a huge opportunity
Commit to anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-colonial, and pro-LGBTQIA2S+ principles, policies, practices, and norms for the free fediverses
Organize!
Consider "transitively defederating" Meta's fediverses (as well as defederating Threads)
Consider working with people and instances in Meta's fediverses (and Bluesky, Dreamwidth, and other social networks) whose goals and values align with the free fediverses'
Build a sustainable ecosystem
Prepare for Meta's (and their allies') attempts to paint the free fediverses in a bad light
Reduce the dependency on Mastodon
Prioritize accessibility, which is a huge opportunity
Commit to anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-colonial, and pro-LGBTQIA2S+ principles, policies, practices, and norms for the free fediverses

Bluesky grows to 9M+ users
In other words, the social platform’s user base has grown by around 50 percent in the week or so since a Brazilian court banned X (formerly Twitter).
The ban sent Bluesky to the top of the free iPhone app charts in Brazil, where it’s currently ranked number two, behind Meta’s competing app Threads.

ブラジルのX（旧 Twitter）停止で #Bluesky が同国のApp Storeで首位に #Threads は2位 - ITmedia NEWS
https://www.itmedia.co.jp/news/articles/2409/01/news059.html
Benvindos ao #Mastodon #Fediverse, #Brasileiros. 🇧🇷
Parabéns, você chegou ao um lugar MUITO MELHOR.
Dicas:
- Complete seu perfil. Ajuda a encontrar contatos, e ter pedidos de follow aceitos.
- MASTODON NÃO É TWITTER/X, nem tão pouco os usuários querem que seja similar. É muito melhor aqui. Esperar similaridade com #Xitter é guarantir uma experiência ruim.
- AQUI NÃO EXISTE ALGORITMO. Você só verá posts de quem seguir e os que eles fizerem um "boost". Siga profusamente; quanto mais gente você seguir, mais posts você verá.
- "Boosts" e "Likes" NÃO funcionam como em twitter. "Like" não dissemina posts, meramente diz ao usuário que você gostou do post. "Boosts" disseminam posts.
- Mensagens diretas (Direct messages, "DM") NÃO SÃO PRIVADAS.
- Aqui NÃO existem ads, comerciais, ou posts empurrados por algoritmo. Nenhuma corporação é dona, nenhum bilionário controla o que você vê, ou diz.
- Mastodon é parte de Fediverse, mas não é a única plataforma. Recomendo @Pixelfed / @loops como alternative a Instagram.
- Utilizem hashtags, quanto puder. Sempre use iniciais em maiúscula, nos hastags. Facilita em MUITO achar posts. #MaisFácilAssim
- Ajude sua instância. Use imagens e files menores (em byte size), quando possível. Isso reduz custos de hosting/storage Os adminsitradores provavelmente paga do bolso deles, para manter a instância. Curtindo a instância, considere doar um troco. Ajuda, horrores.
- Caso você NÃO esteja satisfeito com a instância que você usa, faça download da sua informação, e mude para outra instância. Eu não particularmente recomendo as maiores instâncias de Mastodon. Procure nichos e instâncias que interessem a você, com temas focados em assuntos preferidos seus.
- SIM, você pode ter mais contas em outras instâncias, ao mesmo tempo.
- Seja polido; as instâncias menores são controladas por comunidades menores, e MUITA atenção é prestada a comportamento de usuários. Divirta-se, respeite os outros usuários.
- SIGA AS REGRAS DE SUA INSTÂNCIA.
- Não, #Threads e #BlueSky NÃO SÃO #Fediverse, estão meramente ligados a este. Existe como interagir, mas é muito limitado, e controlado por corporações que são donas de Threads e BlueSky.
Sigam #FediTips ( https://fedi.tips/ )

Acho que nunca tinha espreitado o #Bluesky, boa notícia, contrariamente ao #Threads, não exige conta para ver conteúdo. O primeiro post sugerido foi este, sobre a invasão/êxodo do X brasileiro 😅
You want a fast-growing dominant social network owned by a billionaire made to extort you for profit.
I want a thoughtfully-built, community-grown social ecosystem made to connect people.
We are not the same.
Now that #Brazil has banned Xitter, where are Brazilian people going?
Based on Google Trends, they’re mostly interested in #Bluesky, and to a (much) lesser extent, in #Threads
#Mastodon is nowhere to be found, which should immensely worry pro-Fedi people

Good news #Eurovision bubble: The official Eurovision account finally left X (Twitter) and the platform is no longer listed on the official website and emails. 🥳
Instead, they are now active on Meta's decentralised social network and direct X-competitor #Threads.
Dear developers of the #fediverse, has anyone ever encountered a case where a personal inbox in #Threads responds with a 404 Not Found for a POST request?
Anyone know if #Threads shows users who aren't federating their accounts the fediverse replies on other posts. Just interested in how that will play out in the future and if posts federated to threads will show up in timelines of everyone regardless if they federate or not
Some dude is stating that sharing posts to Fediverse is "horrible" and "dangerous" because it is a breach of your privacy. He's saying this on Meta platform.
"On Wednesday, Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse."
https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/28/threads-deepens-its-ties-to-the-open-social-web-aka-the-fediverse/
Is there a tool to sync over your follows that have enabled federation from Threads to Mastodon?

In summary, if you miss the artificiality of The Algorithm©, remember that you are the person in charge here 🤗 And that this is the most beautiful gift a social media platform can offer to anyone.
Mastodon has a lot of active accounts. Therefore, make your experience here more relevant by:
* Following other users.
* Interacting with them.
* Following hashtags (this is how you replace the recommandation algorithms).
* Following bot accounts (some are really great and useful).
This is gonna be fun 😊
Has federating with #Threads changed your Mastodon experience? Asking from a server that blocks it.
i'm so hype in the pipe for this book i got interviewed for to come out eventually!!! the chapter i'm in is all about fedipact and meta and threads.net!!!!!
https://fossacademic.tech/2024/02/11/Move-Slowy-Preview.html
I’ve given up begging NPR, The Onion, and others on Threads to turn on fediverse sharing so we can follow them on Mastodon and beyond. Now resorting to memes and simply replying to people with the following link:
Well folks, after >6y here, its time to move to another instance. #fedipact #meta
I strongly disagree with @Gargron 's decision to suspend moderation standards in exchange for the "opportunity" to connect with a large multinational corporation on their terms. There is nothing neutral about federating with #Threads: It says the ethic of inclusivity should apply first and foremost to large corporations and the wealthy who run them from their bunkers underneath Hawaii. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6_RyE6XZiw
So Threads has now been operational for over a year and it recently crossed the 200M user mark (ref: https://www.threads.net/@mosseri/post/C-I-3ynvHmq). Has there been *any* update on when Mastodon users (and those from other fedi apps) will be able to be followed by Threads users? Because they still are only 1/2 of a fediverse app. Maybe I missed an update, or maybe they're just hoping nobody notices? I honestly have no idea at this point... Anyone have an update? #Fediverse #Threads
"With more and more influential users on platforms which are a part of, or can connect to, the Fediverse we've taken a giant leap towards a better connected social future."
Did the exodus from X / Twitter actually happen in the UK? What does it all mean for the Fediverse?

#LeaveTwitter #LeaveX #X #Twitter #Bluesky #Threads #Mastodon #Fediverse #SocialMedia
Totally!
Here’s one more idea: Governments should ask to self-host Threads.
I.e. @[email protected] on Threads
In the short term, many govs will have an easier time making a commercial arrangement with Meta as opposed to either a bespoke solution or a collab with a tiny fedi upstart.
The govs know Threads can federate, and this sovereignty-requirement would force Threads’ own network to fragment more within itself, thus curtailing some of their network power.

Meta briefly blocked Australians from posting news to Instagram and Threads. The company said it was an “error,” but it seems more like they decided to give people a taste of what will happen if the government says they have to keep paying news publishers.

7 hours later and still Threads & Bluesky are trending on X 👀
Sadly no sign on Mastodon, but maybe that's related to rumours of posts referring to Mastodon having limited reach (which I haven't seen proof of).
Really interested to see if there's data somewhere on sign-ups across these platforms covering the last week or so.

Come ho già ricordato in passato. Bloccare #threads dal #fediverso solo per via di un odio verso #meta, per quanto legittimo, è contrario ai principi del fediverso, che invece punta ad un web più aperto ed interoperabile. Il consiglio che mi viene da darvi è di non stare sul fediverso per rimanere isolati nelle vostre bolle: apritevi al mondo e allargate i vostri orizzonti. Questo è quello che ci rende davvero diversi dai social commerciali.
Flipboard CEO @mike will be joining the @threads AMA about the fediverse on Monday, along with Block Party founder Tracy Chou. Get ready to ask away — no question is too basic or complex.

go with this instead: @[user]@[domain]

Ich habe übrigens auf Wunsch eine BlueSky-Bridge eingerichtet.
Meine Beiträge von Mastodon werden nach #BlueSky gespiegelt. Das wird hier vermutlich niemand benötigen, aber ich erwähne es mal.
Ich habe auch #Threads ausprobiert. Die Plattform finde ich Mumpitz und habe meinen Account wieder gelöscht.
Mein Spiegelaccount im blauen Himmel lautet:

Today I asked a question to @mosseri and @pcottle on Threads:
"Will Threads be *fully* federated in the future - with the ability to transfer an account to a new instance? Say, from threads.net to mastodon.social for example? (Account migration is one of my favorite features of the Fediverse)"
Eagerly awaiting a response 🤗
#TheFutureisFederated #Fediverse #AccountMigration #Meta #BigTech #Threads #Mastodon
My chosen instance limits federation with threads.net (for well-documented and good reasons), so I can't directly follow accounts there.
However I still want to be able to follow specific accounts and refuse to make a Threads account. Is there a Threads equivalent to the bird.makeup Mastodon instance (which enables following Twitter accounts via ActivityPub)?
why should we federate with them when...
"extreme anti-trans hate content remains widespread across instagram, facebook, and threads. characterized by fear-mongering, lies, conspiracy theories, dehumanizing tropes, and violent rhetoric, these posts — many by high-follower accounts — aim to boost engagement, generate revenue, and seed hateful narratives about trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people. these accounts profit from such hate, and so does meta and its shareholders"
Added a notification setup so I get alerted when someone I follow from bluesky/threads opts-in. I was too lazy to create another bot account so it just alerts me from the RSS bot
@[email protected] · Reply to George Conway's post
@gtconway3 Would appreciate it if you could spare some of your influence to encourage #Threads users like this to turn on federation.
Made a quick python script to attempt to follow all of your Threads follows (if they're federated) and Bluesky follows (via @bsky.brid.gy) in your fediverse account (via Mastodon API)
How to make your timeline Zuck less.
#Threads #OffWithTheirThreads
Anyone know of a way to export/retrieve a complete #Threads following account list? I didn't see anything in their API docs, best I've found is this chrome extension (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/followers-exporter-for-th/nhlcgpbandlddfdmabpjinolcgfbmkac?hl=en-US) but they charge you if you want to scrape more than 250 usernames

are you an instance admin or mod on the fediverse?
do you hate meta, facebook, instagram, and threads?

The update for #Mastodon patching the bug in the preview is near, so it's time for a last look at #traffic sources for @heiseonline:
#Twitter keeps decreasing and is already overtaken by Mastodon (thx also to problems with our bot for #X, when it works, X brings more people).
#Flipboard and #Facebook are growing again, #Bluesky and #Threads are far behind. But Threads brings already more traffic than Bluesky, although we can't autopost (every link) there.
Kurz vor dem großen Update für #Mastodon, das die fehlerhafte Preview korrigieren sollte nochmal ein Blick auf Trafficquellen für @heiseonline: Demnach hat #Mastodon #Twitter überholt, auch ohne einen Teil des Traffics aus dem #Fediverse. Das liegt aber auch daran, dass das automatische Posten auf #X Probleme macht (wenn es geht, ist X vorne).
#Flipboard und #Facebook wachsen leicht. #Bluesky unten konstant hinter #Threads, obwohl dort alle und bei letzterem nur wenige Links geteilt werden.

Announcing Free Fediverse, a website resource for all of us fighting to save our communities from absorption into surveillance capitalism!
There are lots of stories, thinkpieces, links and statements flying around and disappearing quickly, and it would be handy to have a place to store and reference them all. Free Fediverse is that place.
Free Fediverse is a wiki-based site linking to resources of the following categories:
- Links to and information on the FediPact
- Essays on the Meta threat to the Fediverse
- Articles on P92 in mainstream media outlets
- Announcements from instance admins on joining the pact
- Links and information for development projects beyond corporate enclosure
- Articles on Meta's many crimes against humanity
Free Fediverse will continue to be updated. Just hit me up to suggest a link for any category. More links to FediPact instance statements are very welcome!
The website has no ads, trackers or analytics. Ferdi the Free Fediverse Froggy sez "hop on over!"

Nice, @[email protected] is federating now. He's had that @[email protected] account for ages but I don't think he's touched it in years
There's truth in the Embrace, Enhance, Extinguish theory. But #Meta has its own strategy. It's called Copy, Acquire, K*ll.
I wrote about that strategy as it relates to #threads and #mastodon. I also have some insight for what Zuck might be up to. It's not what you think.
#PostsFromJason #FediSeriesFJ
The Medium is The Message is part one of a series (probably). In it, I argue that #Threads is not the assumed victory for the #fediverse it appears to be.
Longterm interpolation with Threads sends the wrong signal— not that Meta and Mastodon use #ActivityPub, a protocol the average user doesn’t understand, but that both share the same beliefs for the #openweb.

Threads is celebrating their one year anniversary with a cute little scratch off game. Every day, a new app icon becomes available that you can “scratch” to make visible.
Image has been marked as sensitive in case you want to keep the first 3 icons a surprise!
This is a smart move by @Mastodon. #Twitter / #X journalism is struggling, and #Threads doesn’t want journalism. Mastodon is leaning into it though, “To reinforce and encourage Mastodon as the go-to place for journalism, we’re launching a new feature today.” I think this is a lever for differentiation; making Mastodon more valuable to journalists and users.

Latest #FOSSAcademic post: On Threads's Blocklist
https://fossacademic.tech/2024/06/28/ThreadsBlocking.html
In which I offer some quick analysis of #Meta #Threads new list of blocked servers.
There's so much more we can do to study what Threads is doing. Indeed, I will have a chapter on Threads in my book. But these are my initial thoughts a day into this event.
[Responses to this post will appear as comments on my blog, unless they are set to followers only or DM. CWs will work]
Imagine a stranger is spreading lies about you. They tell everyone that you're doing horrible stuff, the worst crimes imaginable. They're creating videos, articles, holding livestreams, all pushing the same lies designed to make everyone hate you and fear you.
Would you "just block them"?
What happens when other people don't block them? When other people believe them, follow them, share their lies?
What if this turns into real life abuse? If someone in the street attacks you?
That is what vulnerable minorities face because of badly-moderated social media:
Please defederate threads.net
how long until threads threatens to or actually does start blocking mastodon.social for allowing nudity?
would dot social bend the knee in that scenario and change their policy? probably
i think the most annoying thing about this whole discourse is that people refuse to judge threads by the standard of any other fedi instance
like if a mastodon instance got set up and federated right now and it allowed the shit threads allowed it'd be widely defederated IMMEDIATELY
there are accounts literally CALLING FOR THE DEATHS OF QUEER PEOPLE on there right fucking now
the only reason people are even willing to give them a chance is because it's a big corpo, but that should only be reason to give them less of one lmao. especially considering meta's history in particular
don't let them lower the bar for moderation standards here
me, vanta, trans enby girl polyam lesbian gender terrorist: "people should block threads because it will make fedi unsafe for queer people"
the verge, for some reason: "OBVIOUSLY it's a bunch of NERD BOYS trying to keep the WOMEN out"
hiiiiiiiiiiii welcome to the NEW official account for The Anti-Meta Fedi Pact at https://fedipact.online/
The Pact was started on june 17th, 2023 by @vantablack as a way to defend against meta's intended incursion into the fediverse
it's basically a (very pretty) list of instances who've signed it and agreed to block project92/barcelona/threads whenever it appears
to read about vanta's personal reasons for creating The Pact you can visit https://fedipact.online/why
this is the appropriate account to tag for Pact related discussions from now on, please do not bother me on my main about it lol
This is how we should advertise #Mastodon on other #SocialMedia
#Threads #Twitter #Instagram #Meta #Facebook #TownSquare
#Fediverse
Wait, Threads is now blocking mastodon.social?
https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers
EDIT: mastodon.social has been removed from the list after about 30 minutes. It will be interesting to hear what happened, and how this affected folks who follow each other.
The Fedi #Threads angst: The view from a Fedi-loving normie. 🧵
I’ve spent much of today pouring over various comments and discussion about the first toe dips of Threads and Meta into the Fediverse. The responses are kind of amazing. From excitement to revulsion, I get them all and I understand them. But the more I think about it, the more I think folks are creating a “why” that may not exist.
To start, I do follow people on Threads. Many of my Twitter follows have migrated off the Bad Place to Threads. Some have not. However, I anticipate as X becomes more people’s ex, Threads is where they will go.
I love the Fedi. I’ve worked hard to build my follows and find my peeps. But it takes work. For me, that work has borne fruit. It’s my place to connect and get my wonderfully chaotic feed.
A lot of folks chose the fedi because they felt and are excluded or targeted and it offers them a community that lets them protect themselves and instances that help protect them. I love that. 1/x
Threads implements #Misskey's `_misskey_quote` standard and gives them a shutout in the Facebook Engineering blog and then *blocks them* for "No publicly accessible feed" which is a completely baseless reason for blocking a server.
"We chose _misskey_quote because its naming makes it clear that it’s not an official ActivityPub method, and because we know that it’s supported by Misskey, Firefish, and potentially other servers that use quote posts." https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/21/networking-traffic/threads-has-entered-the-fediverse #fediverse #threads
We had such an intense discussion about #FediBlock'ing #Threads and #FediPact... and in the end the problem just solved itself lol. We could've thunk that beforehand tbqh.
https://social.wake.st/@liaizon/112689839172827974
Threads released a public list of blocked instances:
👉🏾 https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers
Many #Mastodon & #Misskey instances are mistakenly blocked for not having a publicly accessible feed.
I wanted to appeal on their behalf, but #Threads requires admins to appeal.

I am just letting the #Fediverse know!
I love how people were really concerned with the movement to block Threads as if ActivityPub needed some kind of legitimacy from Mark "Let's Destroy Democracy" Zuckerberg. Meanwhile Threads is blocking the entire Fediverse. :neofox_laugh_sweat:
Threads has a list of all their blocked servers now, https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers
They also have a way to appeal your banned server, though it looks like it requires an Instagram account to initiate. Still, I think more ActivityPub software should have some method of appealing server blocks- I know I've blocked servers for spam that I just haven't had the time to go back and see if they've dealt with their spam problem.
Side Note: There's some terrible domains on that blocklist and I wish there were a better way for me, a single user server, to keep an up-to-date blocklist without spending 24/7 browsing the federated timeline
#Decentralisation does NOT mean the whole #Fediverse should block #threads. Decentralisation means that every instance (and user) decides for themselves with whom to exchange communication. While this might look like chaos and a non-deterministic way of sharing information, it reflects the true nature of decentralisation. If you think it should be a binary decision of The Fediverse to not talk to Threads, you are still in the centralised mindset ...
Users on #threads can now see replies from #Mastodon users as of this week. There's still a lot of work to be done with #Fediverse but it's off to a great start. ( @threads )
Posts made with the Threads API don’t federate. I’m a little surprised by this. One of the replies is from a threads engineer so I assume it’s true.
It's kinda gross to see these corporate walled gardens intentionally misrepresent their Fedi integrations and just start using Fediverse in their PRs like their a genuine Fedi participant.
Looking at you, BlueSky and Threads. BlueSky lied about being decentralized and uses Brdigy Fed, a third party bridge to Fedi made by one man, to say they're decentralized. Threads keeps adding fake Fediverse interactions and promoting them as legit Fediverse interactions. They "added" replies from Fediverse without mentioning that they're private and can only mention 1 person or it won't be federated...🤦♂️
If you intentionally misrepresent your integrations for clout, you're doing nothing but harboring mistrust here on Fedi.
#Fediverse #Fedi #Bluesky #Threads #Meta #ActivityPub #Mastodon #SocialMedia
Yo @TechCrunch #BlueSky is not part (yet?) of the #fediverse and #Threads only for a very small part (yet). Don't publish nonsense.
Posts on #Threads don't seem to appear when following an account on the #Fediverse, even after enabling the feature in Threads. Is this working for anyone else?
Example: @nknewsorg remains empty even though there's new content on https://www.threads.net/@nknewsorg
@[email protected] · Reply to Mark Gardner's post
@[email protected] Confirmed that replies from #Fediverse to #Threads work.
Threads users can also like those replies and the replier will be notified.
Further, the Threads user can follow a link to the reply’s original server, as well as block the replier from further interaction or report their reply.
And....my hype for Threads replies has immediately been killed.
Replies are only shown to the OP. It's *something* but all this fake integration crap is starting to piss me off now...🤬
Edit: Confirmed. Replies are only shown to 1 person. You can't mention multiple Threads users and have them see it publicly. This is ridiculous at this point...🙄
As with most things, my opinion of Threads integration to the Fediverse is very nuanced.
On one hand, I enjoy the idea of being able to engage and interact with the wider social web. On the other hand, the sheer amount of Threads users makes me worry that Fediverse will soon be just like corporate social media sites.
I don't want to be lost in the mix of millions of posts, with hardly any engagement.
Also, Mastodon will be adding "limit replies" soon enough and that's bad for a number of reasons, the biggest being misinformation...😬
I am still VERY cautiously optimistic. However, if I start noticing my engagement fall off a cliff, I'll be immensely sad.😔
I know #threads is a polarizing subject here on Fedi but news is news…
Threads has enabled #Fediverse-bourne replies. i.e. you can now reply to federated Threads posts and those replies show up actually on Threads.
https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/25/24185226/meta-threads-fediverse-likes-replies
Kinda neat to see my Fedi profile show up natively on that platform. It even creates a clickable handle on the reply post that links to my Masto profile.

Absolutely true. Funny we are talking about this. Giving the federation of @potus account I found something outstanding. Those "activist" who "abhor Nazis and Transphobes" are the same one who will incur in the same behaviour soon as the find an opportunity. Example 1A (See image). @Gargron is probably the most cyberbullies user in the #fediverse . And he is getting cyberbullies by those who claim the are here seeking "protection". We humans are extremely flawed. #Threads

If you are one of those who think you are an “activist protecting people against Nazis and Transphobes” and when contradicted behaves the same or worse than Nazis and Transphobes you are the biggest asshole out there. You are a blind huge asshole.
So take a minute to see the stupidity that you are doing and reflect on that.

2024-09-16: Edited to split off government accounts.
My experience so far with microblogging services:
Threads: I'm in a wrong party and don't know what to say. I feel awkward, everyone is so happy with their gym selfies. Everyone asking endless questions and asking things from the algorithm. Lots of people use it like Instagram, every post is a selfie with a meaningless caption. Some are copy-pasting the same sentence over and over again for each line. Endless quote-post memes... What the fuck is this shit I don't even...
Bluesky: A Twitter clone, but still very barebones. Notifications are still not working, there are no hashtags and I don't find any relevant content to me in any of the feeds. It's mostly Facebook-like what's up in life, furry scene and AI photos. No news, no tech/web scene, no nothing. Not to mention it's still invite-only and won't support ActivityPub (yeah I know the reasoning behind that but for me it's mostly bullshit, I look forward to trying bridgy fed).
Mastodon and the Fediverse: Here I'm at home on my own server. Most content, most features. A community is friendly but has also lots of nitpicking, some angry dudes. Still the most safest, most healthy and most customized, but somehow the most hated network elsewhere. "Too techie", they say. "Too difficult", they say. "No algorithm", they say.
Nostr: Kinda promising, but way too obscure, strange and even techier than Mastodon. Too much crypto shit.
Well, that's that. Sometimes I feel like Internet is ruined. But I believe in the open social web movement and I want to see this grow.
In no other place I can write a status update as freely as this, as long as this or with a low bar as this. I LIKE this 100%. The same can't be said in those other places I'm experimenting with out of curiosity. There I'm the weird kid. Here I feel like myself.

To keep my timelines tidy, I block relentlessly.
* My #firewall to the #metaverse is up, I blocked #threads
* I block any war propaganda no matter which side it takes
* I block anything repetitive I am not interested in (this includes bots telling me the time of the day by "dong dong dong" or posting the same cartoon every Wednesday)
* I block accounts posting in foreign languages I don't understand
* Anything else that just distracts me. Don't feel offended by this, it is nothing personal
