@signalapp toch triest dat mensen wel #threads installeren

please don't message me on my main account @vantablack asking to be added to The Pact

i made it a cryptpad form and do fedipact stuff from a separate account for a reason

then i can handle it at my own pace when i feel ready. if you message me on my main about it that's just gonna give me the burden of having to remember when the time comes. it's so much easier when it's all just on the form

Anyone who goes through my post history, knows I work for Meta (Facebook).

I am "Consumer Content Administrative Manager". My primary duties include content appeals, account appeals, account reviews, and some peer review.

It is no surprise that my job depends on people using Facebook. Today, I am going to suggest, you not do so. I can make that suggestion because we have a user base of billions, and I know most people would keep using Facebook even if the Devil ran the company. People are strange.

But if you feel you can truly live without Facebook, do so. Internally, things are changing, and not for the better. You should especially consider leaving Meta if you are a minority, woman, LGBTQ+, trans, or identify as progressive, politically. If facts matter to you, and misinformation is something you do not want to be subject toward, you should especially consider leaving, Facebook.

You have no privacy from Meta, while using Meta. None. I do not care if you believe you disabled a "feature" or "opt out" of something. You only seem to have done so. And even if you're going to continue to use Meta, uninstall the app (all of them). We collect data on you, even when you're not using the app.

There are numerous reports that at least some US-based users on Facebook have been targeted with force-follows of the rulers of the new fascist regime; additionally, there are claims that attempts to unfollow or block the fascist accounts are being rejected.

This is no time for equivocation or vaguely worded happytalk press releases. Any person or organization that continues from today to advocate for the incursion of the Zuckerberg entity into the fediverse should be understood as a fascist collaborator

バイデン前大統領のThreadsアカウント、ユーザー名とIDがアーカイブ仕様に変更されてる。

現職のアメリカ大統領は「POTUS」(President of the United Statesのイニシャル)のIDを使い、退任後は「POTUS45」という風に何代目かを表す数字が追加されるのが、X(Twitter)では通例だった。

バイデン氏は第46代なので「potus46archive」ということらしい。

#Threads #SocialBC
When @PhotographyElf @arbutus @jrenken and the rest of us started the idea of this server back in September, I admit I was probably the most willing to look past worries about Threads.

@zuck @mosseri policy changes have made this untenable.

As a team we believe we should block Threads.net for the health and safety of current and future SocialBC users.

However, we want to give SocialBC members time to comment and talk about it.

We’ll block it starting 9AM PST Monday.

I respect that #Fosstodon is sending out a notice to its users about the tough decision they had to make about whether or not to de-federate with #Threads. They offered a quick how-to for folks who have never personally blocked a whole instance before, which I'm choosing to go ahead with myself.

The big instance owners really have a tough job. They have a big responsibility to keep a safe environment for their users. But they also risk being over-protective of many. Respect.

I don't use any Meta products personally, but I was pleased to learn about Lights Out Meta from a friend. It's a movement to get people to log out of all Meta platforms for the week of January 19-26.

I suspect Meta isn't popular with the Fedi crowd (epic understatement), but you might want to share this with friends who are still there.

It's a great opportunity to invite your friends to the Fediverse! (And to @signalapp, too.) 1/n

@[email protected] Adam,

You need to know that the changes in your moderation policy announced by your leadership is putting your relationship with the #Fediverse in serious jeopardy.

From the moment #Meta announced #Threads there was strong debate within the community on whether you could be a trusted actor in this space. I, against my own initial gut reaction (having deleted my FB profile in 2020 and never joined Insta due to family that have been harmed by it), decided to give the benefit of the doubt solely because I thought Thread’s entrance into the #ActivityPub universe gave that effort instant credibility with people and entities that would never have considered it important before.

But now, on the eve of the ascension and return of the most dangerous President the United States has ever produced, at the height of a rise in regressive action and policy that puts people in direct danger, your company has chosen to double down.

No amount of earnest sounding words or tented, pensive, hands can mask what is going on here.

And the majority of the Fediverse is seeing it. Threads.net will reach blocking thresholds by @iftas soon, if it hasn’t already.

You are decidedly part of the problem, and always have been.

And that is why today, after giving you and the handful of people on Threads that I like and follow a chance ( @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] among others) I have to again cut away from Meta not because of them, but because of leaders like yourself who refuse to put the well being of all people ahead of political and ideological ambition.

I believe you and I agree on one thing, the #OpenSocialWeb is the future because it *is* freedom and that will always draw people away from oppressive spaces.

Long live the #Fediverse.

Cheers
Chris

oh shit the fedipact section got moved from the fediverse page to the threads page hell yeah even better

It's funny that Website Guy boosted a link to the recent Guardian editorial about how Zuckerberg et. al. are such a bunch of world-burning losers, considering how enthusiastic he was about federating with #Threads and shaming people who preemptively blocked it.

OH SHIT FUCK YEAH

SOMEBODY MADE A "FEDIPACT" SECTION ON THE FEDIVERSE WIKIPEDIA PAGE

When is Threads going to allow account portability so folks can move their accounts if they want to? We don't know. A Meta spokesperson couldn't confirm that the topic was on the Threads roadmap, but said it was "top of mind." Here's @Sarahp's story.

Our #FediPact actions timeline:

June 2023: Preemptively blocked federation with #Meta #Facebook and #Threads. We also didn't attend any secret meetings with them or sign their NDAs.

July 2023: Blocked their IP networks from accessing our instance.

💡 Because protecting human rights shouldn't ever be something up for a vote.

Our position on #Threads

https://hub.fosstodon.org/our-position-on-threads

@dansup @mastodonmigration it is to their advantage to block any links to #PixelFed #Mastodon or really anything on the #Fediverse

I am very surprised they opened #Threads to #TheFediverse

Ok, ich fasse zusammen: die ganzen Internetversteher*innen sind wegen Musk von X weg zu #Threads, und ziehen jetzt wegen #Zuckerberg weiter zu #Bluesky. Darunter viele Firmen, Unis, Politiker*innen und Journalist*innen.

Ich habe da Fragen, vor allem: was ist an dem Konzept „durchgeknallte Tech-Milliardäre“ so schwer zu verstehen, dass man denselben Fehler drei mal macht?

Und tut es wirklich so weh, einfach mal auf der richtigen Seite der Geschichte (#fediverse) zu stehen? 🤷🏻‍♂️

The time has come! It also includes Threads and Instagram.

#Meta #Facebook #Instagram #Threads #Goodbye

the only thing that's changed now is that they're proud of it

that's why it was so easy to see this coming from a mile away

Still tracking the fallout from #Meta #Facebook policy as the #FediPact grows.

Has anyone seen any servers specifically and recently announce they are *not* going to block/de-federate #Threads?

It is puzzling why certain leaders at #Threads were not alerted to the changes, while #Trump was informed. My theory: Zuck realizes more than most the coming changes coming to America 🇺🇸, & capitulated in order to save his company & his life.

Tip for those trying to be sure if a server has blocked Threads or not - on Mastodon, put this post url into the search bar - https://mastodon.social/@zuck@threads.net/113606873420374308

If the server gets nothing, very likely Threads is blocked. If a post shows up, it definitely is not.

The Fedipact list at https://fedidb.org/current-events/anti-meta-fedi-pact is a list of people who signed a particular pledge.

The list of what servers are blocked at https://fedipact.veganism.social/?v2 is good but it's not been refreshed in a while.

I support defederating from Threads. We have rules for server mod policy, Threads is violating them. Letting them not follow rules because they are too big is a recipe for disaster.

I see what people mean about cutting off communication, but this is necessary when fighting fascism. Rules are good, actually.

#SocialCoop folks, please vote in our Loomio, make your voice heard.

#Threads #Defederate

⛔ Speaking of trust and security makes a perfect transition into why we decided to suspend and defederate from Threads.

This decision is in response to Meta’s recent announcements on the large-scale removal of content moderation rules and third-party fact-checking tools, which deeply affect the safety of LGBTQIA+ and other marginalized communities and contribute to spreading misinformation on a global scale.

Please ask your favorite mastodon.social accounts you're following here whether they'd consider switching to a different instance, that takes a principled stance against #Meta and does not federate with #Threads.

You can use the #MastodonListManager https://www.mastodonlistmanager.org to figure out which accounts are affected:

• Relationships: "I'm following"
• Group by: "Account domain"

BTW, the tool is maintained by @acbeers – it's fabulous for moving accounts around lists, and also for finding accounts that are not on a list yet, at all. In general, it adds many list management capabilities that #Mastodon sadly lacks.

#FediPact

A reminder that if you're considering moving instances due to recent policy changes on #Threads, and would like to take your content with you as well as your social connections, #MastodonContentMover exists 👉 https://mastodoncontentmover.github.io/

It's not perfect. My hope when creating it was that the #Mastodon team would see the need for such portability and build in comparable functionality. Despite years of requests, that hasn't happened (feel free to add your voice): https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12423

@tchambers

what differentiates us from the open web where anybody can post almost anything and anybody can browse to it, is somebody can tag you. that allows people to push crap at you like with email. we should therefore have protection at the social media server level like we have spam protection.

but we don't have algos. you're only going to see what you kinda asked for, like with a browser. since #threads users can't even tag us yet, I don't see the concern here yet. but I'm a weirdo.

(2 of 2) #IndiewebSocial #Threads #Admin

Although we haven’t received any moderation tickets from Threads users, not a single ticket, Meta’s updated content policy changes are, in our view, an action that by itself warrants a server level response.

Effective Immediately: Limiting Threads at Indieweb.Social At A Server Level

For more read the full statement here: and am very up for any good faith comments or questions in the comments.

#Admin #IndiewebSocial #Threads

IMPORTANT: New Policy... A few days ago, I expressed concern over Meta’s new fact-checking and content moderation policies. When Threads announced its move to the Fedi over a year ago, we chose not to take preemptive action. Instead, we saw that we had all the tools needed for proportional responses to potential threats to keep our folks safe. And as we stated then, we would treat Threads.net like any other Fediverse server.

https://www.timothychambers.net/2025/01/10/moderating-threads-at-a-server.html

@leo given the changes to Meta’s policies which permit calling queer people mentally ill, referring to women as property, etc. - all of which violate the rules of our instance - are you going to reconsider federation with #Threads?

I can understand if you want to take a “wait and see” approach and tally up reports about abusive Threads accounts or something along those lines, but I would like to know what your plans are and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Asking for no reason at all, but what is the procedure for migrating to a different Mastodon instance? #Fedipact #threads

"There’s no perfect “calculation” here, but essentially the long-term risk/reward ratio went from overall medium-high to very low because of how significantly these policy changes increase risk of harm."

If any straight cis people are wondering why this is such a big deal, you might be missing the context that accusations of mental illness were used for decades as a way to criminalise gay people and put them in jail or worse (look up what happened to Alan Turing if you want to know what "worse" means).

When homophobic religious dogma started to wane, it was swiftly replaced by pseudoscientific psychological homophobia that persisted in textbooks until as late as the 1990s.

Homophobes basically just hate queer people, and look for any excuse to justify their prejudices rather than question their own motivations.

Counter recommendation:

If you are thinking of deleting your #Facebook / #Threads account over the recent #Moderation policy changes around #HateSpeech and other #misinformation, consider instead posting a few messages telling people to follow you on Fedi, using your account as a way to call out the policies that are making you leave and bring people here. Post some links to JoinMastodon.org and turn your account into an ad for the #Fediverse and #Mastodon and #Friendica.

Don't just walk away, take some other users with you, make yourself a nuisance they have to ban to get rid of. See if they are even up to the task.

Also, the changes Meta is making to Facebook's feed algorithm "will make it more likely to recommend extreme and polarizing content".

Here's an excellent Bluesky thread on that from Laura Edelson (Chief Technologist at the Civil Rights Division in the Department of Justice):

https://bsky.app/profile/whiskeyocelot.bsky.social/post/3lfd3ohs7vk2v

An excerpt:

"The return to an algorithm that drives more politics and more extreme rabbit holes is a return the Facebook of 2016-2020. This has some business upsides, by both cutting costs and juicing user engagement (aka, ad revenues). But it has very, very serious downsides for users and for communities.

Because the hate speech policies and the algorithmic changes that were rolled back this week were developed in response to very real offline violence, including genocide in Myanmar, that were fomented on Facebook. This is a plan to go back to that algorithm and those policies."

Mark Zuckerberg got Facebook off the ground with an investment from Peter Thiel. Elon Musk got PayPal off the ground with investment capital from Peter Thiel. JD Vance became a professional douche bag with investment capital from Peter Thiel. Trump chose JD Vance for his VP so he could get money from Elon Musk.

Peter Thiel owns Palantir which is a company that makes hardware and software for spying on people and organizations. Palantir was originally made for the US intelligence agencies but now it's everywhere. Your local police department probably uses it too.

Palantir has a revolving door of employees and senior personnel with Facebook.

Facebook has always been a tool to allow governments and corporations to spy on you and manipulate you.

They get your pictures, pictures of your friends and family with their relationship to you labeled nice and neat. They didn't even have to work for it. Pictures of your house, car, dog, cat, what church you attend if any. If you use their app on your phone, they get your location data.

You can't sign up for Facebook anonymously. You have to give them something they can trace back to you like a cellular number or a government issued ID.

On top of all of that, Zuckerberg is a Zionist. His policies on Facebook reveal that very clearly.

Fuck Meta!

welp, i'm done with #threads as the maga cultist wankers are already coming over. i've had to block 6 today already so yeah, i'm taking up residence here permanently.

With today's news that Meta is getting rid of fact checkers and changing its policies to allow more hate speech directed at trans and queer people, seems like a good time to resurface these detailed instructions on how to block Threads.

https://privacy.thenexus.today/how-to-block-threads-on-mastodon/

If you want even more protection, your best bet is to move to an instance that's blocking threads -- see https://fedipact.veganism.social to check the status of your instance. And I agree with @kissane's recommendation in the excellent Untangling Threads

"I think the nearest thing to reasonably sturdy protection for people on fedi who have good reason to worry about the risk surface Threads federation opens up is probably to either…

• block Threads and post followers-only or or local-only, for fedi services that support it, or
• operate from a server that federates only with servers that also refuse to federate with Threads—which is a system already controversial within the fediverse because allowlists are less technically open than denylists."

2024 wasn't the best year for social media... but it's 2025 now 🎉

That means it's time to move to greener pastures. Social media that's open, democratic, and controlled by the users.

This year, we're looking forward to raising awareness for New Social and introducing more people and organisations than ever to open social.

We hope to help them move to truly open platforms, like this one.

Vor 2 Jahren habe ich als Angestellter versucht, eine eigene #Mastodon-Instanz für die Landeshauptstadt #München, ihre Referate und Beteiligungsgesellschaften ins Leben zu rufen - und bin gescheitert.

Ob ich mal einen zweiten Anlauf starten sollte? Diesmal vielleicht mit politischer Rückendeckung? 🤔

#zuckerberg #meta #instagram #threads #musk #x

why do you think i made the fedipact website so damn pretty-looking and wildly unprofessional?

because this is fedi, the cool side of fedi, not goddamn linkedin

#FediPact #meta #threads

but yeah fuck megacorps fuck professionalism fuck being presentable

it wouldn't be representative of the portion of the fediverse we're trying to save if it wasn't awesome as fuck and flying in the face of all that

#FediPact #meta #threads

i've decided i'm gonna get even sillier with the fedipact account now

i mean it was already pretty silly before. like posting nudes with "fedipact" written across my tits and boosting them on here levels of silly

but i mean EVEN SILLIER

as in... lyric and music posting mainly i guess

funny how that's a step up for me lol

#FediPact #meta #threads

it was a wednesday when @ansuz forever changed the perception of the threads logo with a simple tweet

"friendly reminder that despite having more money available than any other activitypub project #threads still decided to use a pube as their logo"

starting a meme that would last for ages, one not being able to unsee the pube-esque logo

where were you when ansuz said "lol pube?", i was here, the first boost.

Hey adventurers!

Get ready for a thread(s).

With all the recent heat about Meta and seeing that the company decided to fully take advantage of a pretty much fascist political party to leverage their own needs, after a peaceful discussion the staff at The Gamer's Tavern decided to de-federate from Threads.net effective immediately.

Meta Now Lets Users Say Gay and Trans People Have 'Mental Illness'

Meta rolled out a number of changes to its “Hateful Conduct” policy Tuesday as part of a sweeping overhaul of its approach toward content moderation.

#Admin #IndiewebSocial

We watch the Meta changes in factchecking, moderation policy, etc, with concern. But this is still true:

"We have all the tools we need for that [protecting our users] ...And if we find ANY server not responsive THEN we block. Protecting our users is our 1st job but we have all we need - without first strike defederation."

That said: If we see ANY abuse of our users from #Threads accounts we will not hesitate to take any actions needed.

@tidelines I don’t know. It’s pretty meh tbh. Each instance polices and moderates how they see best, with quite varying rules. I felt that ‘fact checking’ was always a bit problematic (and even weird at times), and Mastodon doesn’t have that as an option anyway, so not really feeling much need to get worked up about it. #Threads does what it does.

If it starts spamming like crazy, or pushing deeply illegal stuff, then a block may be in order. Otherwise, users block if they want.

When it came to accepting #Threads to the #Fediverse, I gave #Meta the benefit of the doubt. I think it's time to admit that I was wrong.

Mark Zuckerberg got Facebook off the ground with an investment from Peter Thiel. Elon Musk got PayPal off the ground with investment capital from Peter Thiel. JD Vance became a professional douche bag with investment capital from Peter Thiel. Trump chose JD Vance for his VP so he could get money from Elon Musk.

Peter Thiel owns Palantir which is a company that makes hardware and software for spying on people and organizations. Palantir was originally made for the US intelligence agencies but now it's everywhere. Your local police department probably uses it too.

Palantir has a revolving door of employees and senior personnel with Facebook.

Facebook has always been a tool to allow governments and corporations to spy on you and manipulate you.

They get your pictures, pictures of your friends and family with their relationship to you labeled nice and neat. They didn't even have to work for it. Pictures of your house, car, dog, cat, what church you attend if any. If you use their app on your phone, they get your location data.

You can't sign up for Facebook anonymously. You have to give them something they can trace back to you like a cellular number or a government issued ID.

On top of all of that, Zuckerberg is a Zionist. His policies on Facebook reveal that very clearly.

Fuck Meta!

With today's news that Meta is getting rid of fact checkers and changing its policies to allow more hate speech directed at trans and queer people, seems like a good time to resurface these detailed instructions on how to block Threads.

https://privacy.thenexus.today/how-to-block-threads-on-mastodon/

If you want even more protection, your best bet is to move to an instance that's blocking threads -- see https://fedipact.veganism.social to check the status of your instance. And I agree with @kissane's recommendation in the excellent Untangling Threads

"I think the nearest thing to reasonably sturdy protection for people on fedi who have good reason to worry about the risk surface Threads federation opens up is probably to either…

• block Threads and post followers-only or or local-only, for fedi services that support it, or
• operate from a server that federates only with servers that also refuse to federate with Threads—which is a system already controversial within the fediverse because allowlists are less technically open than denylists."

#FediPact #meta #threads

Etter at Meta har bevisst valgt å innføre endringer som garantert vil åpne #Threads for mer FUD, ekstremisme og feilinformasjon så har driftsrådet her på Mikrobloggen ikveld bestemt at vi setter threads.net opp som et delvis blokkert domene.

Det betyr i praksis at brukere her på Mikrobloggen ikke vil få opp poster eller brukere fra Threads i sine feeds og søk med mindre de aktivt har valgt å følge en bruker på Threads. Da vil de isåfall kun få opp innlegg fra brukerene de var valgt å følge.

@ophiocephalic I've yet to have anyone explain to me what harm I will come under by being allowed to decide if I see #Threads from my account or not. Why must an admin make that choice for me? Explain it to me like I'm 5 why you're treating me like I'm 5.

Folks, do you think if Threads/Meta/Mark Zuckerberg were really that bad, John Mastodon himself would partner with them? Do you think they’d even be allowed in the Social Web Foundation?

No, surely you’re mistaken.

Otherwise, what does that say about John Mastodon and the Social Web Foundation?

All the server admins who preemptively defederated Threads and were shouted down are looking pretty vindicated right now.

#threads #meta #federation

Anyway, a good day for the #Threads developers as they can now ditch the interoperability with #ActivityPub given most of the #Fediverse instances will likely defederate now. So as not to put all that coding to waste, though, they can just firehose content from #TruthSocial into their platform.

The decision to federate with Threads and welcome Meta into the fediverse is aging extremely badly. Now would be a good time for admins of currently federating instances to reconsider. At the very least, a reminder that in two weeks the federating Threads "potus" account will belong to the world's most powerful fascist.

New Year, New Social 💡

So, what does New Social mean?

To us, it's a vision of open social media - free from the control of a single person. It's not a single platform (or protocol) but a new way of thinking.

A place where you can post, build community across multiple platforms, and move if you ever need to.

It's a one stop solution to the closed networks that only serve the billionaires who own them.

I feel like #Mastodon is an underrated place for socializing, but there's too much out there. It's too overwhelming for me. I'll occasionally post here, but I have officially switched to #Threads. So, if you want to know where I am, that's where I am at nowadays. Please follow me there if you want to. Thanks so much. I'll pop up in here and there. Peace out. ✌️

Sssssssso.

After experimenting a bit with Openvibe and using Bluesky and Threads I can say for sure that neither are for me.

On Bluesky I'm feeling like I'm shadowbanned or undiscoverable and on Threads my "For you" feed is full of Onlyfans alluring posts even though I spent the first whole three days selecting "I don't want to see contents like this anymore" from the menu. Apparently, I wasn't heard.

The engagement on Threads was exactly ZERO while I had a few interesting conversations on Bluesky.

I'll keep this Mastodon account bridged through @bsky.brid.gy but I'm letting the Bluesky and Threads account disappear into the void.

Thank you all for coming to my "You'll probably don't need to read this and you don't care" TED talk

#Bluesky #Threads #Openvibe

@mosseri just announced that #Threads users can finally follow fediverse accounts. Which means you can now reach 200M people from your Mastodon account without ever using Threads yourself. True decentralization happens on the fediverse!

#Mastodon was very stable, which made it the biggest source by the end of the year. #Bluesky grew significantly at the end and is now clearly in second place. #X fell the whole year, and our departure (from posting there) just accelerated that. But #Threads (where we can't post automatically) is still far behind.

It never ceases to amaze me when people on commercial platforms are surprised about said platforms getting enshittified by dumb decisions, billionaires or AI for example. The outrage and amazement sparkles up comments like "Guess we have to live without social media in the future" or "guess we need to move on to <another commercial platform here>" or "guess we have no choice". Right, if you say so. Guess it is what it is, then?

Tippar at #Threads får minuspoeng pga. #Meta, og #Mastodon fordi det verkar litt sært når ein fyrst slår det opp.

Men eg er usikker på kva #Bluesky har som spesielt positive trekk. No er det så klart fordi så mange, tydeligvis, er der. Men kva med før det blei stort?

Eg tykkja Bluesky verka like sært som Mastodon før eg valte Mastodon.

Eg var ikkje klar over at #Bluesky var såpass stort i Noreg. Ei undersøking visar at 7% av vaksne nordmenn nyttar plattforma kvar veke.

Er det nokon som eigentleg veit kvifor nett den tenesta slo så godt an som #X-erstattar, og ikkje #Mastodon eller #Threads?

Hey #fediverse citizens, if your instance has been federating with #Threads, can you vote on what your experience has been?

Please boost for reach. #poll

imo if #threads want to still partake in the #fediverse, they’re going to need to allow 3rd party clients. I know they won’t since it’ll stop them from tracking, showing ads, and serving the for you algo, but I’m just reading more and more about Surf, OpenVibe, and all of these apps which need it..

Literally do not care what people's #politics look like beyond "not a literal fascist". I don't care if you're an anarchist, a communist, a neoliberal, a member of the #DemocraticParty establishment, whatever.

As long as you are active on the #Fediverse, rather than being exclusive to #Twitter and/or #BlueSky and/or #Threads, you are taking things in the right direction. Anyone who's on here is my ally in that sense, even the people who never say anything about politics at all.

Edit:
This is also something to keep in mind when considering whether or not to block other servers or push people out of the network: we are all here to not be elsewhere.

Another week is over, time for new stats regarding traffic to @heiseonline: It seems like there is a new balance with #Mastodon in front, #Bluesky brings now half as much. Although we stopped posting to #X, it still brings in more than #Threads and roughly as much as #Flipboard.

これ、気持ちわかるなあ。
（自分はもっと前の「サードパーティー開発者に対して予告無しに API を遮断した」あたりからもう折れていたけど）

イーロン・マスクのこのリンク含む投稿についての表明よりずっと前（買収前？）から、仕組み上はリンクのある投稿の優先順位は下げられていたみたいな話も見たような気もするけど、そもそも Web のプラットフォームで外部リンク推奨しないなんてはっきり言われると「ああ、やっぱり #X なんて、もはやそういう場所だよねー」という気持ちはより強くなるよな…

広告目線とかで見れば #X に限らず自分のドメインから離脱させたくないのはある意味では当然なんだけど、この記事にも書いてある通り政治にも大きな影響を持つようになった #SocialMedia #SNS に対して、そういう広告ビジネス的な発想で「外部リンク非推奨もまあ仕方ないというか当然だよね、無料で使ってるわけだし」みたいにプラットフォームのビジネスに妙におもねった理解をユーザーが示してしまうのも問題なんじゃないかと思ってて、とくに #SocialMedia みたいな性質のものは、ビジネス的にそのプラットフォームが成り立つかどうかって話の前にユーザーがそこでどんなコミュニケーションをとってどんな気持ちになって何を得るのか、みたいなことが先にあるべきのような気がするんだけど、最近はそれが逆転して、プラットフォームの存続のためにユーザーは課金して対戦型コミュニケーションを勝ち残るための武装するのである！ネガティブであろうがなんだろうがインプレッション至上主義、群雄割拠の対戦型マーケティングプラットフォーム！みたいになっちゃっているように見える。

そういう意味で、オープンな技術の上で小さなプラットフォーム同士がつながる #Fediverse は、#BlueSky のように過去の #Twitter やいまの #X の規模のプラットフォームにそのまま取って代わる力はなくても、「次の #Twitter」ではないなにか、になる可能性はむしろ #BlueSky よりあるんじゃないかと個人的には思っているけど、この記事は全くもって #Fediverse や #Mastodon への言及もなければ #Threads の 連携の話もなくて、この文脈の記事としてはとても残念（書き直し！

wow it looks like somebody was more clever than i anticipated

posts with content warnings just straight-up do NOT appear in threads. period. at all. ever

tested this by making an account on mastodon.social and an account on threads.net

then posted my nudes to .social and attempted to make them show up on the threads side

nothing. damn. they really thought ahead. this was never a worry to begin with. those devious fucking shitstains

#FediPact #meta #threads

credit where credit is due

if this flares up into a whole kerfuffle and gargron actually sticks to his guns with this

it will genuinely be sorta badass

#FediPact #meta #threads

well there you have it

apparently gargron has no plans to update mastodon.social's rules to comply with the threads TOS

#FediPact #meta #threads

A de-centralized, federated network, using a common, NON-COMMERCIAL, #FOSS protocol, such as the #fediverse can actually save lives and fight the onslaught of dezinformatsiya.

#Meshtastic #GMRS devices were used to keep people connected, sending messages through #ActivityPub based clients, during catastrophic weather events which knocked standard comms networks down.

#DTBO socmedia (such as #BlueSky, #Threads, #Telegram, etc) were actively used to disseminate #dezinformatsiya, during those catastrophic events, and other emergencies.

Taking the internet back from walled-garden, corporate, proprietary networks can mean the difference between life or death for many.

Government should not be owned, operated or focused on corporations, but be by People, for People.

Twitter (x) API v2 documentation is crap, the API has a very HIGH price and is just not worth it. #Mastodon, #BlueSky and #Threads are MILES ahead, I am not sure why people keep using Twitter, honestly, I don't see a future.

People may say Elon did great with all the cutting costs and layoffs, but it is going to be his slowly demise.

Why is Meta adding fediverse interoperability to Threads?

Threads has taken a significant step towards their fediverse integration this week: people can now follow fediverse accounts from Threads. Although caveats apply, it marks a milestone in the process, and it has taken Meta over a year and a half to get here. This milestone provides a moment to reflect on what and why Meta is working towards.

When Threads first announced that they would implement ActivityPub, one of the crucial questions was: ‘Why?’ Why does the company that mastered the concept of ‘walled gardens’ suddenly care about decentralisation and interoperability? Why does one of the world’s richest companies that has made a gazillion dollars by keeping people locked onto their platform suddenly care about giving people freedom?

The Verge asked this of Mosseri, ‘why are you doing this at all?’ Mosseri spends almost his entire answer on account portability for creators, saying that Threads will be a more compelling place for creators if they have the safety of knowing they are able to take their audience with them if they decide to leave Threads one day. A short sentence at the end of his answer is more pragmatic, saying that Threads is ‘trying to lean into where the world is going’. Still, Mosseri is clear in his answer: the reason for Threads to implement ActivityPub is so that they can implement account portability and people can leave Threads more easily if they want to. In another interview, Zuckerberg is also asked a similar question, and he gives a similar answer, saying:  “So, in a way, that actually makes people feel more confident investing in a system if they know that they have freedom over how they operate.”

So here we have a clear answer by the two top people of Meta. Why does Threads implement ActivityPub? Because they think that people are more likely to choose Threads when they know they have the freedom to move to a different platform.

Threads and ActivityPub, in practice

Reality is quite different, however. It’s been a year and a half since Threads first started working on implementing ActivityPub, and only just this week they finally released the first version of an implementation that even remotely resembles two-way federation. The amount of exceptions and barriers to actually using federation between Threads and the rest of the fediverse are significant however. Most importantly, you cannot search for people on the fediverse from Threads. So while you can theoretically follow fediverse people now, you immediately run into the problem of finding the people you want to follow.

If you want to follow someone on the fediverse from Threads, you first have to enable fediverse integration and click to a scary warning. Then you have to find a post that has a like or reply by a fediverse account, click on that account and hit follow from there. This means that interaction between the fediverse and Threads is completely serendipitous, depending on which fediverse accounts you happen to come across on Threads.

But this is not the only strange thing about Threads’ fediverse integration: there is a 15 minute delay before posts from Threads appear in the fediverse, preventing any real-time communication between the network. It also kills off the potential to use the connection for sport events or breaking news, where the delay of 15 minutes is highly impactful.

Who actually uses the Threads-fediverse connection?

Meta does not provide statistics about how many people use the fediverse integration on Threads, nor does their implementation of ActivityPub include the common NodeInfo endpoint. NodeInfo is used by most ActivityPub software to provide more information about the server. However, we can get quite some information about the actual usage of Threads’ fediverse integration, and that is by looking at the mastodon.social server.

Mastodon.social ‘knows’ about 21k Threads accounts, as per early Nov 2024. For a Mastodon server to ‘know’ about a Threads account, it means that any post of that Threads account has appeared on a timeline of a mastodon.social user, or someone on mastodon.social has searched (not necessarily followed) for that Threads account.

Mastodon.social is not the entire fediverse, but does account for a quarter of all active users on the fediverse. It stands also in contrast with other fediverse servers, who regularly block access to Threads: 9 out of the 20 most active fediverse servers have cut connections to Threads.

So while we cannot know the exact number of Threads accounts who use the fediverse connection, we can make an educated guess based on the Mastodon.social statistics. Personally I think it is likely that less than 50k Threads users have enabled federation. The Threads-fediverse connection is not particularly popular either in the other direction: Barack Obama is the most popular account on Threads, and only 3400 followers of his 6.2 million total followers come from the fediverse.

On availability in the EU

The fediverse integration for Threads is not available for EU users. Meta has been slower to roll out Threads to European users in general. Threads launched in July 2023, and only became available to people in the EU in December 2023. News reports blame the delay of launching Threads in the EU on the complexities of the DMA, with Mosseri blaming “the complexities with complying with some of the laws coming into effect next year”.

But that is for Threads in general. For the fediverse integration, to the best of my knowledge (please share sources) Threads has not given a direct explanation as to why it is not yet available. During an AMA in August 2024, Threads simply stated: “We’re working on bringing a federated Threads experience to the EU as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience with us 🫶”.

While compliance with European regulation is surely not easy, ActivityPub and the fediverse are also not incompatible with compliance either. The European Data Protection Supervisor was the first European agency to launch a fediverse platform for EU organisations with EU Voice. When their pilot project ended in spring 2024, the EDPS concluded: “The EDPS’ pilot project of EU Voice and EU Video proves that community-driven and decentralised social media platforms may prioritise users’ fundamental rights to privacy and personal data, and foster the EU’s digital sovereignty.”

Threads and Bluesky

Just to point out the obvious: Meta is a company with an incredible amount of resources, and employs highly talented people. When the company feels competitive pressure, they are capable of moving incredibly quickly. Threads now feels competitive pressure from Bluesky, and it took Threads less than two weeks to build Starter Packs, Custom Feeds, a better search tool, shift stance on default feeds, and mimic Bluesky’s UI. That is all to say: the speed at which Meta delivers a product is deliberate. It is not an accident, and Meta is certainly not a company that is resource-constrained. If Meta wants to do something, it will do something.

Meta and interoperability

The European Union has made a big deal of their Digital Markets Act (DMA), that aims to increase competition in European digital markets, and targets the Big Tech platforms. The DMA takes aim at gatekeepers in a variety of markets, from search engines to browsers to communications platforms. It gradually rolled out in 2023 and 2024, to much hype about how we could totally have interoperable communications platforms when WhatsApp would become interoperable.

It is now the end of 2024, and WhatsApp is now compliant with the DMA. There are zero apps that people in the EU can use that natively interoperate with WhatsApp. This is not for a lack of technology: I have seen demos this year that showed this capability, fully functional, I’ve held the phone. The technology exists. There is a simple reason why it is not available in the EU, and that is because Meta does not want it to be available.

A blog post by Matrix explains the situation in detail, but the crux of the matter is: Meta has interpreted the DMA in such a way that every other app that wants to connect with WhatsApp has to show proof for each user that they are physically geolocated in the EU. It goes against the mission of Matrix to track their users like that, and the same goes for other chatting apps. So we end up in a situation where the DMA is in effect, Meta is compliant, and nothing has changed. Meta applied the rules in a way that people could theoretically interoperate with WhatsApp. However, the practical barriers are significant enough that Meta is comfortable knowing likely nobody will be able to implement the interoperability in practice.

So why does the Threads-fediverse integration exist again?

To summarise:

• Threads says they are implementing ActivityPub so people can transfer their account away from Threads towards another platform. Threads is not currently working towards that goal.
• Threads has incrementally shipped fediverse integration at a low speed. The feature is difficult to use and crucial components are missing.
• Few people use the Threads-fediverse integration, likely less than 50k out of Threads’ 275 million monthly active users.
• The Threads-fediverse integration is not available in the EU, and Threads has not provided a clear reason for the delay.
• Meta is highly skilled in using European regulations on interoperability to their advantage.
• Meta can ship new features with rapid speed when the feel the need to do so.

Based on the above, I do not believe Mark Zuckerberg when, talking about decentralised social networks, he says that he has “always believed in this stuff.” I think there is another explanation as to why Threads is building a fediverse integration, but not rolling it out in the EU.

My take is that Threads is likely using the fediverse integration as a future bargaining chip with the EU. The EU is pushing towards more interoperability with the Digital Markets Act, and on the matter of social networking has designated Meta as a Gatekeeper with Facebook and Instagram (but not Threads!). Meta has shown that they are not a particularly huge fan of the additional interoperability requirements, to put things mildly. When the EU will push harder on the DMA interoperability requirements for Facebook and Instagram, Meta now has something to show the EU: “Look at how difficult this is! Give us more time, and make the requirements less stringent. We can totally do interoperability, look Threads in the rest of the world, just not in the EU with all your complicated regulations”.

I’ll be the first to point out that this is speculation. But I have a hard time coming up with a better answer as to why Threads is building the fediverse integration. There are few people who make use of the feature, and it does not seem to be contributing to growth. Threads is not even bothering to build it in such a manner that aligns with their stated goal of providing account portability. So why does this feature exist? Until I have a clearer answer, I personally find it hard to cheer on Meta and celebrate the Threads-fediverse connection as a win for the open social web.

おー、なんか久しぶりに #Threads の #Fediverse 対応が進んだ感じがする！

Wild to see the Threads integration, y’all. I truly love my experience on Mastodon, wild to think Threads people can follow along!

#threads #mastodon #meta #tech

So your Mastodon instance doesn't block Threads but you want to block it anyway? Well, you can do that!

1) Open a new text file.

2) On the first line, type "threads.net" (no quotes)

3) Save the file as "threadsblock.csv"

4) On a computer (not your phone) log into your instance and click "Preferences."

5) Click "Import and Export"

6) Click "Import"

7) In the "Import Type" select "Domain Blocking List" and "Merge"

8) For "Data," Browse to your "threadsblock.csv"

9) Select "Upload"

To verify your import was successful, go to your profile and click the three little dots, selecting "blocked domains." You should see threads in the list!

Enjoy!

It's interesting. There's all this celebration about #Threads.net connecting to the #Fediverse …

Am I missing something obvious (very possible) or are people celebrating that Meta/Facebook is now sucking up #Mastodon user data?

Eugen congratulating #Threads for allowing their users to follow #Fediverse users, while in the meantime, following and interacting with Threads users from the Fediverse is still opt-in... 🙄
Meta is definitely embracing #federation half-heartedly.

I follow people, and I’m followed by them and other people, on both Threads and Bluesky these days. It really is as though we have a properly interoperable social media system at last!

#threads #bluesky

Looks like two way federation with Threads is starting now.

It'll be very interesting to see how this works out.

#FediVerse #Threads #Federation

#journalists, we’re not going on #threads or #bluesky or #deadbird

A little late, but here are the last numbers for traffic from #X / #Twitter (where we're stopped posting) and its competitors to heise.de.

#Mastodon & #Bluesky now clearly in front, #Threads still a bit behind X.

#SocialMedia #Fediverse #eXit #Xodus #TwitterMigration

Threads takes another step forward today and allows you to follow fediverse accounts...with some major stipulations.

There's no search capability. Instead, you have to find a reply or like that a federated account created, view their profile, and follow from there.

So sure, you can follow fediverse accounts, but this greatly reduces the scope of discovery.

Curious if fediverse accounts can be included in their upcoming public lists feature (starter kits)?

#Threads #Fediverse

"True Decentralization is when one gargantuan main corporate server dwarfs all the other infinitely smaller volunteer-run ones in size effectively centralizing everything. I Am Very Smart"

#FediPact #meta #threads

@mosseri just announced that #Threads users can finally follow fediverse accounts. Which means you can now reach 200M people from your Mastodon account without ever using Threads yourself. True decentralization happens on the fediverse!

Ha, figured out out to bridge my Threads account to Bluesky. Not that I'll use it, but it is possible #threads

Threads is mocking AP users at this point.😒

Threads users can now "follow" Fediverse users that have replied to a post already existing on threads.

-Cant search for Fediverse users and follow them normally.

-Cant see Fediverse posts if they're not a reply, even if you follow.

-Cant reply or mention a Fediverse user

WHAT DOES THIS EVEN DO?!?!?

#Threads #Fediverse #Meta #Fedi #ActivityPub

Woah, just followed my #Fediverse account from #threads . They actually did it 😅

Well...30 more days till I'll have to defederate from Threads for not fulfilling their promise of fully federating by the end of the year.

Will they pull it off? Doesn't seem likely at this point.😒🤦‍♂️

Proving us all right in the end, it seems.

#Threads #Meta #Fediverse #Fedi #ActivityPub

When did #Threads begin requiring the app or account login to view unfederated content? I won't bother clicking through any more, I guess.

や の弱いところを肯定的に捉えすぎてる偏った意見かもしれない。
自分自身、いまは #X アカウントも削除してしまったし #BlueSky も今のところアカウントは作らずに見送って、をこの #VivaldiSocial だけをほぼ唯一のメインの #SocialMedia アカウントとして2年近く使っていて、#Threads もアカウントは作ったものの 連携を有効にしているアカウントだけ（それももう100アカウント以上はフォローはしている）をここ からリストにまとめて覗き見しているくらいなので、見方によっては偏っているんだろうなという自覚もある。

でも、ユーザー数の多い場所でたくさんの意見をみていたら偏っていないということになるのか、どんな規模のサービス常駐していようが、そもそも世界には国の検閲をかいくぐって特定の Web サービスにアクセスする必要がある人もいれば、自分から Web サービスに距離を置く人だっているし、#SocialMedia みたいなものを見たり投稿したりしている時点で偏りのないスタンスなんて存在しないんじゃないか、という気持ちもある。だったら自分の偏りに自覚的になった上で自分とは違う景色が見えている人の意見とかを目にするほうがまだ健全なんじゃないか、みたいなことも思っている。極論かもしれないけど

#Fediverse #Mastodon

My take on the current #Bluesky, #Threads, Mastodon / #Fediverse Landscape: https://www.timothychambers.net/2024/11/28/a-quick-snapshot.html

#Threads を覗いたら通知に7件も溜まっていたので見てみたら、全部「Pick for You」というラベルがついたフォローしていない人の投稿だった。

自分に興味がありそうな人の投稿をサジェストしてあげるよ！という機能なんだろうと理解していて、まあそれはそれでもいいんだけど、通知に混ぜ込んでくるのは良くないなー

#Threads がここ最近全然 #Fediverse 周りの対応について新しい更新情報が出てこないので、「やつらは EU に便宜をはかるために 対応進めてるだけ」みたいなことを言い始める人（英語）が流れてきてる…

前からもそういう懐疑的な見方するひとはいたけど、たしかに #Fediverse 完全対応がいつになるのかいまだによくわかんない状況だと気持ちはわからなくはない…

Threads keeps building new features and they seem to have completely forgotten about the Fediverse integration. I wonder if Threads folks are ever able to use it in the EU and whether we will be ever fully interact with them both directions.

#Threads #Fediverse #FediverseThreads

For way over a year now I'm sharing data on #traffic from #Mastodon, #Twitter etc. to heise.de, always hoping someone else adds another perspective. Turns out, #Bluesky had to come along 😉 :
