This week I spoke to a room full of non-techy NGO people and for the first time there were more folks with #Fediverse than #Threads accounts in the room 🎉

The revolution will NOT happen at any douche techbro billionaire owned social media.

Only clout seeking influencer worship, abd mindless spread of #dezinformatsiya #misinfornation happens there.

Why bother with those?

We have the #Fediverse

I can't explain how excited I am to be able to speak with @evan@cosocial.ca tomorrow, May 27th at 14:00 US Eastern time (UTC-4).

If you don't know Evan, he is co-editor of ActivityPub, the W3C standard for decentralized social networking used by platforms such as #Mastodon , #Bonfire , #GoToSocial , #Peertube , #Owncast , #Loops , #PixelFed , #Emissary , #Fedify , #FlohMarkt , #Lemmy , #Piefed , #WriteFreely , #Friendica , #GNUSocial , #Threads , #NodeBB , #Funkwhale , #Gancio , #Mobilizon , #BookWyrm , and MANY MANY MANY MORE + whatever YOU create next!

I've been speaking with folks and they've given him a very special nickname. You'll have to tune in tomorrow of catch the #VOD to catch it.

"Earlier today, Meta announced that it was testing a new Meta AI chatbot for Threads that would function a lot like Grok on X. Even though the "early beta" isn't available to most people on the platform yet, a number of Threads users have discovered its not possible to opt out of the feature or block chatbot's the account."

@krisgoldsmith85 i look forward to you ditching #meta for the #fediverse 😁💙

you already have a @KrisGoldsmith account (unused for a few years)

we've got:
💙 #mastodon vs⛔ #threads
💙 #pixelfed vs⛔ #instagram

plus:
💙 #loops vs⛔ #tiktok
💙 #peertube vs⛔ #youtube

but as you mentioned in a yt vid, we need some "good" billionaires to invest in building the infrastructure we will need to start fighting fascists, especially to fight the tech-bro-chodes

アボカド農家詐欺ってコレか
普通に「アボカド農家」で検索したら、この詐欺らしき投稿がトップに出てきたな。詐欺に対する自浄作用が働いていない感 #Threads

I believe @zuck would shut down #Facebook, #Instagram, #Threads & #WhatsApp in New Mexico as it would only cost him a few million users.

#Threads is working on an improved version of the "Markup" feature, renaming it to "Highlight" and adding the ability to select a word or phrase and apply an emoji 👀

ℹ️ Highlights are public. Others can see them and react, even if you have a private profile.

Well, this is unfortunate.

#Threads just disabled our account. @threads

#Threads

Under the new rules, Meta might trigger a threat signal when a user posts a “visual depiction of a weapon,” a “reference to arson, theft, or vandalism,” or “military language,” if accompanied by the word “antifa.”

If “antifa” is mentioned in the context of “references to historical or recent incidents of violence” — a category so sprawling that it includes “historic wars” and “battles” — that post will also be penalized. Should Meta apply this rule as written, the company could, for instance, restrict posts comparing the antifascist nature of World War II to the contemporary antifa movement.

Potential penalties for violating Community Standards range from a full account ban to comments being hidden or suppressed.

@taylorlorenz The different programs and their forks! (Like #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #Misskey, and the history of their forks)

The #Reddit-style forum #Fediverse software like #Lemmy and #Mbin

Attempts from big tech to adopt the #Fediverse (like #Threads)

So, this is far worse than I imagined. Because #Meta demanded to link #Facebook accounts to #Instagram last year, if your Instagram is gone, you won't be able to login to your Facebook either because it wants to be verified via Instagram—the two-factor authentication is useless.

Instagram's very high false positive, and not offering a channel to appeal the wrongful suspension, cut me off from not just the #Filipino community in #Threads but also from my network, friends, and relatives in Facebook.

The hard truth: the #Philippines and the Filipino people are at the mercy of Meta, in particular, Instagram.

@youronly.one.ofcl

So, my @youronly.one.ofcl account was suspended because I logged-in to #Instagram side and added a verification code to an older selfie upload. Now I no longer have access to the large #Filipino #Threads community.

This is the second time already, the first was my original account `youronly.one` and no one from Instagram assisted even after I went through their Face Verification process thrice.

Anyone who can lend assistance to get my `youronly.one.ofcl` account reinstated and have it placed in some whitelist so their automation scripts are not hitting it with false positives? I rarely login to the Instagram side because I don't need it, the only reason I have it is because Threads originally required an Instagram account.

I am preparing for $200 💵 for a barrel of oil 🛢️ sooner rather than later. I am already reducing expenses.

I reduced my #Fediverse expenses (I only use #WordPress, #Mastodon & #Threads), & shop primarily at #Costco (they absorb 💯% of tariff costs).

#America 🇺🇸 needs to focus on keeping the Hormuz straight open to prevent a global recession.

I know this is going to be a hard lesson for people on the #Fediverse to learn, but here we go:

NOT EVERYONE ON THE FUCKING PLANET KNOWS HOW TO DO THE THINGS WE DO!

While I’ll take #ActivityPub over #Bluesky, #Threads, and #Twitter, some of y’all make it so difficult to just exist in a space without having to “well, actually” every fucking thing!

Understand that not everyone has all the answers (you sure as shit don’t) and treat people with some fucking grace and respect!

For fuck’s sake!
