@beaware.live this is the most ridiculous shit ever. I think I'll be blocking Threads on my instance after tomorrow until they federate.

I'm wasting my time there if I'm just gonna be thwarted by a fake account. Fuck them.

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!

Ooh, can’t wait to read the gushing praise from Mastodon GmbH for this on the Mastodon blog.

(Mastodon gGmbH and Meta are besties, you see. https://www.platformer.news/mastodon-interview-eugen-rochko-meta-bluesky-threads-federation/)

Is it up yet?

Well, I just informed Threads about the fake "Fediverse" Threads account.

That's pretty much all I can do. I don't know what else to do at this point. I'm at a loss for words that it's even allowed as a username in the first place.

Yay! My #Flipboard account is federating: @darnell@flipboard.com

Like #Threads & #Ghost, Flipboard is beta testing #ActivityPub on its main site.

I believe Flipboard will prove to be a counterweight to Threads and a prime location for news & pundits (as #Meta does not really desire the latter two on their platforms).

I'm beating a dead horse at this point, but I wonder how many people @Fediverse@Threads.net has convinced to turn on Fediverse sharing with their misinformation spreading....

My guess is that number is QUITE low or even 0.....

What an embarrassment.🤦♂️

#Fedi #Fediverse #Threads #Meta #Mastodon #AcitivityPub

If anyone knows who runs the Fediverse account on Threads. Please let me know.

The account is pretty inactive and seems like a MASSIVE missed opportunity to advocate and educate users there...😬

It really sucks that someone grabbed the username, uploaded the icon and has only used it a handful of times...

It doesn't even have Fediverse enabled.😔

PLEASE boost for reach if you care about informing people about the Fediverse and would like to see that account put to better use!

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!

I know #WhatsApp is popular amongst Americans 🇺🇸 who travel outside of the country, but I doubt #Meta will replace #iMessage in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 in the near future.

#Apple has already lost to #Facebook Messenger in #America 🇺🇸, so in a sense @zuck has already won.

And aware, no doubt, that quote posts are a divisive, hot-button issue, they're already building into #Threads not only quote post functionality but more refined controls for it than I know of anywhere in the #Fediverse — a feature bound to attract attention and make people consider choosing Threads in preference to other Fediverse software that doesn't offer the same functionality.

This is all absolutely classic embrace, extend and extinguish.

#fedipact #Meta

A lot of people have insisted #Meta isn't getting involved with the #Fediverse to embrace, extend and extinguish it...

... but even before fully implementing Fediverse interoperability in #Threads they're already talking openly about changing its protocols to add features like monetization. 🤔

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.

My primary concern about these militias is that many of them might attempt to cause chaos if #DonaldTrump loses the election to #JoeBiden in November.

Props to #Meta for attempting to remove them from #Facebook, but it appears as if they lack the staff to effectively enforce their “no militias allowed” policy.

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!😁

I did not realize how much influence #Meta has over the popularity of news organizations (at least online).

I know previously @zuck & @mosseri alerted the public that political content on #Facebook, #Instagram & #Threads would be de-emphasized.

#Google might be de-emphasizing police too.

The fucking ignorance on Threads is fucking laughable.🤣🤣 This man just called me a "Fediverse Stan account"

Un-fucking-believable!🙄🙄🙄🙄

Apparently on Threads, you have to make a post complaining about not being seen because of the algorithm, to be seen because of the algorithm.🤦♂️🤣

If that's not ironic, then idk what is.😳

#Threads #Fediverse #Fedi #Meta #Threadiverse

As much as I feel it's a useless endeavor, I'm back to advocating for Fedi on Threads, just to spite those unknowledgeable fools who think there should be an un-federated, Fediverse app...I have a headache just typing that...😬🤦♂️
