I've been exploring the fediverse intermittently since last year. As a reflection of my journey so far, I wanted to put down some thoughts:

@kirby I'm pretty sure it's just an issue with #Reddthat because the main #Lemmy instance loads fine:
Which #Lemmy frontend is this?
Continuing to fight the uneducated misinformation campaign by the fake "Fediverse" Threads account...🤦♂️
If you're on Threads and want to help me fight this, find me there @beaware.live and boost/repost as well as like my "pinned" quote post calling them out!
We don't get people educated on Fediverse by spreading easily verifiable false info!

Lemmy is experimenting with plugins.

Still in experimental prototyping stages it seems, but cool to see. Hope it gets worked on and works out well.
Could be an interesting experiment for the Fedi in general?
It’s using rust’s extism, so webaasembly for plugins.
This video is SO good! Anyone who is interested in Fediverse nuances and the issues we've been debating for months now, should definitely watch this video!

Ryan made a pretty good point around the 16 minute mark about how Threads wasn't told to make their federation "opt-in" from the Fediverse side and that people feel differently about bridges for some reason.
Even though, they're the same thing, in most ways.

Finally sitting down to watch/listen to the podcast with Mike Mccue, CEO of Flipboard, and Ryan Barrett, creator of BridgyFed.
This should be good!😁
So cool to see the leaders in this space share info and help each other make this the best social media project it could be!

Sunday MIGHT be blog day...🤔
I haven't done that in A LONG TIME. However, there's been LOTS happening and I'm very excited for the future of the platform, right now.
I am obviously still a little cynical when it comes to corporations and their intentions with Fedi, though.
If I have time, (and if I feel good enough. Anxiety is a bitch) I'll do a writing session and detail my thoughts, reasonings, and experiences with this social movement so far.
I'll also be detailing the nuances of each cross-platform integration I have firsthand experience with.
Let me know if this is a type of blog post would be interesting or intriguing to you and it might help me with motivation to pull it off. I don't want to "yell into the void". Especially with something I have so much passion for, and will take some time to complete.

It's such an exciting time for social media.
Fediverse is going near-mainstream due to wide adoption.
Bluesky now "unofficially" federates with the fantastic work of Ryan Barrett's BridgyFed!
Threads has one-way federation and claims to plan to fully federate soon enough.
Nostr is federated using the Momostr Pink bridge which also bridges Threads.
The future of interconnected social media is now. Exciting times, we are in!😁

After a week on #Lemmy/#Kbin/#Mbin I can safely sum them up in a single, wife-approved image.
Kinda wish there was more interoperability between Fedi platforms. Like if I see a dumb comment that makes absolutely no sense from a Lemmy account, I want to downvote it, but I can't unless I login to Lemmy.
FediTip of the day:
If your profile and posts are set to "public" and you can read this very post, you should have no sense of "privacy" here on Fedi. That means ANYONE can reply.
There's 20,000+ instances and new ones every day, there's NO WAY to tell who is accessing your posts or what they're doing with them.
Fediverse is not some kinda "bastion for privacy" nor is there any sort of "consent" required to see your posts if they are public.
The only way you can be 100% sure that your followers are the only ones that directly see your posts is to make your profile and posts private. Even then, screenshots exist.
Remember, you're on the internet. Once you post it, it's probably not going away. This is true everywhere.

If there were ever a single post that truly shows how running a Fedi instance is, that I could boost to the moon, it's this one.
People still somehow think that Fedi is "opt-in" or "privacy focused" or even "community focused". None of these things are true and I wish more people understood.
It's not a BAD thing, per se. I like it, personally. I choose who I want to interact with by blocking those instances I DON'T want to interact with, but it's OPEN BY DEFAULT is something some people can't grasp.😬

Let's play another riveting game of "Explain things to Salt"
This time it's a vibe check: What are your impressions and experiences of #Lemmy, #Kbin, #Mbin, and/or #Beehaw?
I understand them all as Reddit-esque and FOSS but I'm curious about impressions, stereotypes, and connotations
Gonna try #lemmy or #mbin or whatever the fuck the #reddit diaspora is using these days.
Anyone got a good recommendation for a service or server?
Some people get replies and just do not engage at all....
Like, what is the point of posting to social media if you're not even gonna be SOCIAL?!?🤦♂️
Especially Fedi, cause it's not like we have some dumb ad service that pays you for views...You ain't making money here unless you're posting off-platform links to buy stuff.
I just don't get it. It's social media. Not "shout to the void and ignore everyone" media.🙄

Well, I have deleted the Threads app. They don't seem interested in integrating in good faith, unfortunately. Therefore I don't see any point in advocating for them further.
Federate with them if you wish, but my first hand experience with their dev team has been completely in bad faith on their part...🤦♂️

@clacke @rgegriff @khinsen
Given that #Mastodon had had critical vulnerabilities until Mozilla started to investigate (other popular platforms such as #Misskey, #Peertube, #Lemmy aren't even being investigated of security and audited by independent trustworthy third-party), and the fact that Mastodon and its fork have far more Fediverse-enabled users than other non-Threads (not sure about this), non-Flipboard #Fediverse platforms, they are still a valuable targets for government agencies.
Just found that reddit has made it paid to upvote people, Guess it's time for people to move across to the Fediverse to software such as Lemmy & Kbin.
