Threads is preparing to venture deeper into the #fediverse. - @theverge_com

> That comes courtesy of Alessandro Paluzzi, who frequently reverse engineers and reveals Threads and Instagram features. The new option lets you turn fediverse sharing on and off at will and you can easily copy your username formatted for the decentralized Activity Pub social protocol.

It doesn't take much to imagine what #perceptivemedia could bring to the incar experience. Now others are picking up on this too.

Still enjoy reading this - https://theconversation.com/canadas-public-broadcaster-should-use-mastodon-to-provide-a-social-media-service-194116

Not sure why the @CBCNews haven't gone that way?
When the @EU_Commission set up their own, it should have been a clear sign the new digital public space is developing here?

Just spotted another #dotsocialpodcast landed on @flipboard@flipboard.video's #Peertube

Worth watching...

"2023 was dominated by a few big stories: climate change making everything hotter; the Israel-Hamas war; blockbuster movies and concert tours. And during all the massive global shifts, celebrations, and devastation — life happened. Watch this video to remember the major events from this turbulent year. "

The beauty of standards & protocols not platforms
https://www.theverge.com/23990974/social-media-2023-fediverse-mastodon-threads-activitypub
In a #fediverse world, rather than try to build another all-encompassing Facebook from scratch, an enterprising developer can pick one or a few of its features and try to do better.."
"Everything is based on one set of posts and an open network of friends and followers, new social products can be useful even if you’re the very first user."

High-speed train company Hyperloop One shuts down

Enough said!

Wondering if anyone can help me track down this research study 🤔

The study is where people are more likely to buy a drill or screwdriver from Amazon than knock on their neighbours door and ask to borrow one.

I heard it recently and can't find the source research, as I'd like to read the actual details.

Threads is officially starting to test ActivityPub integration

https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/13/24000120/threads-meta-activitypub-test-mastodon

Threads has begun connecting to the fediverse.

When I mentioned to @evan about listening to his interview yesterday. His answer was which one?

Now I know... unless there is another one...?

1. https://dot-social.simplecast.com/episodes/evan-prodromou
2. https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/759?

Such a great pioneer and in typical GTD way, we also started something around the future of ethical dating. Look out for more soon or get in touch!

True but if it did... 😥

Elon Musk Says Dating Will be Added to X Platform!

https://www.datingsitesreviews.com/article.php?story=elon-musk-says-dating-will-be-added-to-x-platform

This is pretty terrifying and I can't believe I'm just hearing about it. Maybe something to do with not being on X/twitter and filtering out almost everything related to him.

Been thinking about how the #Fediverse and #ActivityPub could finally change online dating for the public benefit.
