Yet another service enabled #ActivityPub (web standard) support! Welcome to the #Fediverse network, #HTC #VIVERSE users!
(PS Thank you for using the correct terminologies.)
As an individual, self-brand, and/or corporate brand, if you are still refusing or ignoring the #Fediverse network, you will be #LeftBehind.

臺灣擁有的社交網絡平臺 Plurk(自2008年以來)嚴重需要添加 ActivityPub 支持並加入 Fediverse網絡。
Taiwanese-owned social-network platform #Plurk (s. 2008) seriously need to add #ActivityPub support and join the #Fediverse network.

Today's #trivia: What is the world's first online social network?
=> Cyworld (싸이월드), launched in 1999.
#DidYouKnow It was also the first to introduce (1) #microtransactions; (2) #virtualitems; (3) isometric [chat] rooms; & (4) custom avatars.
@ubi Haha, true! It is 99% impossible to get ASEANs to use the fediverse. We can forget the fediverse, just Threads itself is being ignored even though Instagram is very popular in the region.
It's only Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Plurk, in that particular order. ^_^
The reasons for this are (at least based from experience and observation):
1. Family connections.
2. Fandoms + official accounts of their idols
3. Government accounts.
I am hoping that Threads can make fandoms and those official accounts to create Threads with Fediverse. Theoretically, it can be helpful in getting a huge chunk to move to the Fediverse
(Unfortunately, there is an anti-fandom vocal minority in the Fediverse, who's trying to gatekeep the network. /facepalm)
Another one that's good are government accounts with fediverse enabled.
But, until those happen, those 5 SNS platforms will remain.
As for language, except for the #Philippines and #Singapore, English is not an official language in the 8 member Nations (even though English is the official language of the organisation itself). Many can speak English, but it's more natural for them to speak in their local languages.

#SocialNetwork #SocialMedia #Fediverse + #ATproto + #Silo / #WalledGarden
New in the #Fediverse network and it seems to be empty? Try these steps.
(Note: I'm using #Mastodon as an example.)
1. Create three lists: "CUR: All", "CUR: Flipboard", "CUR: Newsmast".
(CUR = CURated / CURation)
2. Search for "Flipboard" and "Newsmast" (Flipboard accounts share the same icon, Newsmast accounts share the same icon as well.)
3. Follow the accounts you're interested in. (It's by topic.)
4. Add each of those accounts to your "CUR: All" list. And to its respective platform list: "CUR: Flipboard" or "CUR: Newsmast".
5. Switch your "Home" view to "CUR: All", "CUR: Flipboard", or "CUR: Newsmast".
Another way of doing it is by topic:
* CUR: Nature
* CUR: Current Events
* CUR: Programming
Or, by region:
* CUR: Local
* CUR: Asia-Pacific
* CUR: Africa
Adjust it to your needs.
---
In the Mastodon family, you can set the list to not show up in your "Home" timeline. This way, you can still see the posts from other people you follow without it being filled with curated content boosts.
Benefits of following curation accounts:
1. You don't have to follow every single account.
> Usually, accounts share other topics which you probably are not interested in. Curated lists filter these topics for you.
2. You will discover content and people to follow.
> Both Flipboard and Newsmast boosts/reshares the original post. You see the original source/account and interact with them directly.
> You can then choose who you want to follow directly so you can see more of their content and interests, and build a friendly relationship with them.
---
It becomes possible to only follow 10 accounts ever, yet consume hundreds of content and information.
This way, you can avoid following hundreds of accounts which will only make your "Home" timeline confusing; and more likely, you'll miss what matters most for you because of so many posts from so many accounts.
I hope it helps you! Welcome to the Fediverse #SNS !
P.s. If you're using an awesome Fediverse software or platform besides Mastodon, the steps are similar, if not exactly the same.

To add to the above, #Fediverse software will probably need a filter feature.
Oh, and this will be a good use of the “#fediblock” idea. If fediverse instances are affected by these laws, then a centralised list of news websites to auto-filter/block will be beneficial for all instances.
I just learned something new from a #Threads user re: laws on paying media sites for linking to their news. (See: https://www.threads.net/@aulia/post/C3r8CbLy1kI )
It turns out that, if any user shares a link to a News outfit located in countries with such laws, the platform/service is required by law to pay the media company. It doesn't matter if the user is from another country, different nationality, and citizenship. (The laws are not the same, but the idea or objective is similar.)
To quote aulia (https://www.threads.net/@aulia/post/C3sDO6-y1n0):
> In Australia Meta temporarily banned links to all known media sites on Facebook until they and the media and government came to an agreement.
>
> In Canada local news publishers couldn’t login to their Facebook or IG accounts let alone post if they’re in the country, ever since the Canadian law passed. Regular users were also blocked from sharing links to news sites. Not sure if that’s been cleared yet there.
How will this affect #Fediverse instances?
いままで、Blueskyはなんで分散したサーバ(PDS)とかBGS(relay)だけではなく、appviewとかozoneとかいろいろ必要なのかよくわからなったけど、今回のFediverseのスパム騒動みると、そういうのを中央集権的に対処する必要があって、そういうことも考えてATprotocolは考えられていそう、と思った。検索などの効率の問題もあるけど。
#SNS #Fediverse #spam #bluesky #atproto
スパム騒動については、最終的にはドメインホワイトリスト的なものになるんじゃないかな。定期的に合格したサーバだけを接続可能にする、というような。いまのようにfollowされたらそのサーバを自動接続するというのではなくて。
逆に不合格なところをブラックリストにするのもありうるけど。
合不合の判定はどうやってだれがやるのか、そうなるとFediverse全体の権威というか組織が必要になるかもしれない。Blueskyが中心を持っているように。
いまのFediverseはある意味、烏合の衆、で中心がない。
#SNS #Fediverse #email
1. That the #Fediverse network is Mastodon; and #Mastodon is the Fediverse.
2. That Mastodon is a network when it is not, it is a software.
3. That the fediverse is small.
4. That the fediverse is competing against this and that #SNS; and its objective is to end them. Truth is, there is no such objective, since 2008 (and earlier), the objective has always been to #BringDownTheWalls.
5. That the fediverse is new. It started in 2008. (See: https://codeberg.org/ddfon/federated-sns ), and discussions about a #FederatedWeb started years before that.
6. That the fediverse is only a #microblogging network. In reality, there are software for fediverse blogging, photo sharing, book reviews, podcasting, and video hosting, to mention a few.
7. That the fediverse will eventually close down like all others. Again, it started in early 2008, that's 26 years ago, and it's still here.
