The difference between Musk's (su)X & Mastodon is, that X is an antisocial medium.

Elon's personal capitalism & despotism playground, serving his histrionic attention disorder.

@petrescatraian it’s not that in western world we don’t know how to make a single app for everything. It’s that we are not on a single authoritarian state that is also the market so some stuff like surveying or social score is not allowed and for state stuff/taxes, to each his own

Yes, but I mean a somewhat verified unique identity that could prevent the same person with multiple accounts:
- to act as different people (online voting);
- to refer back to the same person (pre registering for concert tickets).

Your handle @tswerts here is a worldwide unique identity. So is any e-mail address you might have.

I've not quite decided for myself how problematic it is.
On the one hand 'Better the devil you know'.
On the other hand 'Why did I have to make a Facebook account for my son to be able to save his progress on Clash Royale in Supercell so he could take it from his old phone to his new phone?'.
But on the one hand again, what alternatives for a worldwide unique identity are there besides Twitter, Facebook, Google, Apple?

@MaryPot
Or consider moving to one of the many instances thaat have said thwy will block it ?

@kristian @fediversenews @socialmedianews

Interesting.
So this means that Meta can read all the toots of our's that go to their users, right?

I also find myself wondering... is it going to be one huge instance? If so, I can block it if I am not interested in getting in touch with anyone on that network, even though my instance hasn't blocked it.... right?
Even the ones other people boost?

Meta has launched its new social media platform, Threads. For now, it's only been released in hundreds of countries outside the EU, as the EU's privacy regulations are too strict for Meta's new Twitter rival.

@binarytango I can't help but think they're paying these people for those posts.

Salió la aplicacion de Meta compatible con Mastodon ⬆️ ⬆️

It is on! :ablobblewobble: 😂

@kristian @socialmedianews

@kristian @socialmedianews I had proactively blocked the Threads servers from my profile, let me know if you can see me from the Threads app.

@kristian @socialmedianews but are you able to talk to the fediverse? isnt that its killer feature?

@kristian @arkd

There was a leaked screenshot a while back that did show a feed where a post's user had a mastodon.social username visible, but since none of these screenshots show anything resembling that ActivityPub following might not be coming at launch (which some tech outlets have reported that as well).

@kristian @tokyo_0
N/A in the states either

@arkd@mastodon.design
I'm not sure yet 🤷

@kristian @socialmedianews does it integrate with activitypub as it was supposed to?

@tokyo_0 @kristian

Via VPN, I can see the store page in many, mostly European countries:

Czechia
Denmark
France
Germany
Greece
Hungary
Iceland

No install option on any page.

@kristian Interesting — I don't even get that here, just an error screen.

@kristian @socialmedianews is there an apk anywhere?
