If they can’t see what we say, it’s not #federation.
If they can’t follow us, it’s not federation.
If it requires account duplication, it’s not federation.
@mosseri and the rest of you. #Threads, #bluesky, i’m talking to you. But you shut your ears, because all these tricks are ones you need. To continue your data-thieving business model.
The #GreatDataHeist of 2024, that’s you. Trying to do it to us, candidly, but I pay my dues in money, not privacy.
#fediverse, or don’t

List of 'Toots instances that have federated with or blocked Meta's Threads, along with those that have joined the anti-Meta Fedipact.
Pleased to report aus.social is Fedipact.

social media is just a waste of time.

I really can't find how it all started that Filipino Twitter users are migrating to The ATmosphere network. While Facebook users are in Threads (and only few actually activates their fediverse settings despite telling them how).
It's something I'm very curious about because the Philippine SNS / social media space is heavily Facebook + Twitter only for the last 20 years. Yet, somehow, in the latter half of 2024, things started to change.
What is going on?! I want to understand what triggered my kababayan to migrate, or at least, take seriously a "new" platform. And this is despite the fact that most of the people they're following are more likely than not still active in those closed-silo platforms.
The migration isn't huge, like Brazil-huge. But still, it's significant. These are not the usual "let's give it a try" crowd and then they'll disappear. They're actually using Bluesky and Threads!
The challenge is, like in Threads where we have to tell them to turn-on their fediverse setting, we have to tell ATmosphere users to follow @ap.brid.gy . 😅

The #history of #TwitterX migrations:
* #Twitter Migration 1.0: Japan (2017?). They moved to the Fediverse
* 2.0: Western world & other English-speaking countries (2021). To the #Fediverse
* 3.0: UK (2024). To the Fediverse via #Threads
* 4.0: Brazil (2024). Mostly to #ATmosphere via #Bluesky
* 5.0: Global (2024). Mostly to ATmosphere, some Fediverse
Keep it going!

#MASTODON vs #THREADS Engagement Experiment
Followers:
Mastodon 1,031
Threads 26,800
3 posts at the same time on each.
Mastodon: 62 Hearts 24 Reblogs 4 Replies
Threads: 2 Hearts
26x followers! Bupkis.
Follower counts & the active users on a platform **DO. NOT. MATTER.** if the #algorithm doesn't bless your posts.
Let your creative friends know, Threads (and #Twitter / X of course) are not the solution.

With all the issues Meta has had over the years there are still people licking their boots and favoring Threads. Personally I still prefer and plan to stay on #Mastodon and #Bluesky. #Threads was just kind of… there

It's astounding how much percentage of #threads content is total garbage and the replies are 90% garbage.

If you’ve suspected that you’re yelling into a void about the #election on #Instagram, #Facebook or #Threads, it’s not your imagination, either. Downplaying #politics is business & political strategy for #Meta, the #SocialMedia giant…
A wider study by the advocacy group #AccountableTech, …quantified the audience drop for 5 prominent liberal IG accounts, including the #HumanRightsCampaign & #Feminist, that post almost entirely about politics. Over 10 wks this spring, their avg audiences fell 65%.

Translation: #Meta tightened the reins over what to put in your #feed & Explore tab, specifically from accounts you don’t already follow.
As part of the shift, #Instagram also opted everyone into a new #setting to have it recommend less #political #content from accounts you don’t follow. It did NOT alert users to this inside the Instagram #app. (If you don’t want a #sanitized feed on Instagram, #Facebook or #Threads, instructions for how to change your #settings below)

Don’t say ‘vote’: How Instagram hides your political posts
WaPo #tech columnist Geoffrey A. Fowler investigates how #Meta’s #Instagram, #Facebook & #Threads suppress #content related to the #election. Even discussing how to #vote isn’t safe.
…Fowler shows exactly how #democracy dies on Instagram.

@anubis2814 A public feed means that people can see the most recent posts without creating an account or logging into the instance.
By default, #Mastodon & #Misskey instances have a public feed, & so does #Threads.
#Pixelfed does not, which is why every instance is muted.

#ActivityPub platforms with just official iPhone/iPad apps:

@Gargron @mosseri @zuck I remember #Meta employees talking about this on #Threads.
However, @verge published a timeline of when @threads would integrate with the #Fediverse & integration with #Mastodon was late 2024.
👉🏾 A peek at the Threads / #ActivityPub roadmap. https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/11/24035256/a-peek-at-the-threads-activitypub-roadmap
Also @j12t can confirm this roadmap too: https://reb00ted.org/tech/20231208-meta-threads-data-dialogue/
Notes from @tomcoates too: http://plasticbag.org/archives/2024/01/how-threads-will-integrate-with-the-fediverse/

昨日 #BlueSky のサーバー落ちた（？）の、やっぱ Twitter から大量のユーザーが流れたからなんだろうな。イーロンがブロック関連の仕様変更したので、それいやで大量ユーザー流れたんだろな。App Store で再び Bluesky が1位に。そして 2位が #Threads 。 :tony_smiling:

Can someone give me a valid reason why #mastodon federates with #threads?
I understand the #ethos of mastodon
I understand what #meta is
Why does anyone think this will ever work?

Eu acho que estou de mal humor, ou acordei naquelas dias que serei do contra em tudo, mas pela primeira vez eu vou defender uma decisão de uma ferramenta da Meta, no caso, o Threads.
Talvez eu não tenha lido suficientemente sobre o que está acontecendo, nesse caso eu me desculparei, mas o fato deles estarem retirando posts com as mesmas polêmicas (políticas) de sempre e oferecer ao grande público um espaço menos tóxico e polarizado seria, porque não, bem vindo.
Mas não estou lá para ver se é isso mesmo.
