Nice work @evan you repped the #fediverse and #activitypub so well on the big stage talking to @davidimel on the @mkbhd @waveformpodcast.
Very clear and compelling. Kudos

Why is #Mastodon #SocialWebFoundation #Pixelfed working with #Meta #Facebook #Threads?
'multiple Facebook users in states like #NorthCarolina, #Mississippi and #NewJersey continue to share the #ballot #misinformation without any notification that it’s false.
#CNBC flagged posts with the false information to Meta. A company spokesperson said, “Meta has sent them to third-party fact-checkers for further review.”'
#meta #facebook #threads #instagram #socialmedia #security “Officials in Ireland have fined Meta $101 million for storing hundreds of millions of user passwords in plaintext and making them broadly available to company employees.”
why don't people understand that working with likes of #meta #facebook #threads is only you lose, they win, in every scenario
why don't people understand that?
is it a concern for money?
is it a concern for clout?
what?
you can never make a deal with the devil where you come out on top
never
O governo brasileiro poderia seguir o exemplo dos Países Baixos ao invés de ficar com discurso vazio de soberania nacional.
"O governo holandês anuncia que disponibilizará o Mastodon para todas as camadas de todo o governo holandês, como um serviço compartilhado do governo, a partir de 2025!
O piloto do Mastodon do governo comemora seu aniversário de um ano hoje e, como parte da avaliação, eles declararam que o piloto do Mastodon "fortalece a autonomia digital e [cria] um fornecimento de informações seguro e confiável"."

P. S. A conta no Threads continua fechada para quem usa plataformas compatíveis com Activity Pub: (arroba) lulaoficial (arroba) threads.net.

Il ne faut pas s'emballer, l'intention de Eugen Rochko n'est pas d'ouvrir un compte #Facebook ou #Threads à mon avis 😉 Mastodon aussi bien que la Social Web Foundation adhérent aux principes d'un web social ouvert, décentralisé et interopérable, donc je ne vois rien de choquant dans cette annonce. #SWF

CEO of Meta, which recently joined the newly founded #SocialWebFoundation, suggests that there is "no causal connection" between social media and teen mental health.

There's something I've been wanting to talk about for awhile.
Quote posts, limiting of quote posts, and how those features might be added to core AP.
As it is now, the way Threads does quote posting is when a person adds a link to another Threads post, it automatically turns into a "quote post".
They also have the option to limit posts from being quoted, which in turn completely stops anyone on Threads linking to that post.
To me, that is wild, but I can see it making sense on a closed platform.
However, given the way Fediverse works and a ton of people have their own instance/website, I think it would be absolutely asinine to attempt to stop someone from simply posting a link to another post.
Links have been part of the internet for awhile now and there's no other platform that stops people from using links, AFAIK.
So, to those working on AP, please consider another route for quote posts because if I cannot link to something on my own website, I'll be pretty livid honestly.
So... Has anyone on here actually talked with the people from the #SocialWebFoundation?
I can tell the #Mastodon Organization has, but #Threads is also listed there, while I don't see any other names that aren't some corporate entity. I'm all for groups that want to expand the #Fediverse, even for-profit ones, but it's a red flag when an organization that purports to be for a general movement doesn't have an open line of communication with rank-and-file server-runners and volunteers...
Edit:
I just realized that it was founded by @evan who is actually very active in mainstream Fedi, and one of the maintainers of the actual protocol. While that doesn't elaborate on actual intentions, it is good to know that at least it's someone who is directly involved, and not some random corporation. #EvanProdromou
"I think the next logical jump on that is like [...] “Okay, and we’re also going to show you content that’s generated by an AI system that might be something that you’re interested in.”"
This is great, actually. We're soon going to be free from the oppression of social media.

It's a little wild to go into #Bluesky, and see posts from my bridged Open Social #fediverse account, quote posting an item from #Threads. That's an exciting amount of interoperability.
It’s going to be strange when Threads has full on integration with the Fediverse
So let me understand this. If someone is broadcasting from "Threads" and uses a hashtag I follow, I'm going to see it here. Meanwhile any interaction I have will be a shout into the ether? or a re-post of someone who has decided not to be on Mastodon?
I also cannot follow or be followed by people on Threads yet? Feeling annoyed with Instagram trying to shove this down my throat and then seeing a bit here too. Help a non-tech kid understand.
@KidOrnery Yes. I suggest using @FedicaHQ & have it use your RSS feed to autopost to #Threads from #Mastodon.
You can then mention a link back to your Mastodon account, along with a user handle.
I do this for my #Misskey, #Flipboard, #Pixelfed & #WriteFreely accounts.
This is a smart move by #Meta, but it will only work if context of what is being posted is provided.
👉🏾 You might start seeing #Instagram comments on #Threads soon 🔛 @verge 📰 https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/15/24245679/meta-share-instagram-comments-threads-feature-rumor
This is a way for Meta to bring more of Instagram to the #Fediverse without having to activate #ActivityPub on any Instagram accounts.
Semi-related note: To my knowledge, #Pixelfed is still muted on Threads, as the software platform does not (yet‽) provide a public timeline. Sigh…
this is why many people who're so adamantly against federating with threads are so goddamn ANGRY
we're so fucking tired tired of having our safe spaces -- our refuges against queerphobia -- ripped away from us
queer people, outcasts, weirdos, etc. -- we built this fucking network. we laid the groundwork for its very existence and now you're trying to tell us we don't matter, that we should just give it all up in the face of some evil megacorp. well fuck that
we're not going down without a fight
you have NO IDEA how full of queer neurodivergent leftist furries this place was before y'all showed up. no goddamn clue. that was this place's shtick for the longest time
