Chanelling @tchambers to bring more orgs to the #Fediverse 💪

Is anyone doing more to federate #Threads than @tchambers? He’s like a one man combination ambassador and welcome party 😂

Via @tchambers, more @Flipboard boards are federating today! Flipboard has seen over 100,000 #fediverse interactions and is opening up 100 more boards today.

Hey, we got @feliciaday! https://www.threads.net/@feliciaday/post/C6ltDhFsvfR

@dansup @loops we need the TestFlight, Dan!

Seeing creators and artists banned or locked out of the big social networks with no warning or recourse really makes you want to pour effort into the decentralized social web. These are people’s livelihood, just being yanked out from under them. I don’t want to jump into the replies like some jerk and tell them they should have joined #Mastodon but these people deserve an audience that can’t be taken away for no reason with no way to get it back. #ActivityPub #fediverse

Via @tchambers, Nature.com has shared a very interesting scientific study of the great #TwitterMigration. It details the user motivations seen at scale as well as the actual migration patterns that led to one of the largest instances of user loss in the history of the social web https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-48200-7

If you are testing #threads as their #Fediverse integration launches, a friendly reminder that I am also over there too! https://www.threads.net/@justintylerwv

Zuck shares update on Threads interoperability with the #fediverse and #mastodon #threads #ActivityPub - https://www.threads.net/@zuck/post/C0zXcQmxO77/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Genuinely curious to see how long Altman lasts in modern Microsoft, a company that puts ads in the Start menu and runs a tabloid news service. https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/20/23968829/microsoft-hires-sam-altman-greg-brockman-employees-openai

*lets @Gargron know that I appreciate his post*

@dansup @pixelfed I wonder if there is some way you could do this while maintaining anonymity, the way Apple does with face data in Photos. Is the data set small enough that you could hash the contact details in the way that you would passwords and then compare them locally in chunks in the background? The only thing ever uploaded would be the hashes and all the matching in comparison would be done locally.

There is no point in even having the #Reddit IPO now. The CEO has been getting publicly owned all week.

I’ve gotta come up with a cool name for but I’ve got a (mostly) working read-only #lemmy client built entirely in #SwiftUI on my iPad. I like the idea of an app built specifically for lurkers with no auth required (pairs well with @mastowatch!) and it scratches my own itch for #Reddit because I very rarely posted. #TestFlight soon?

@davidbures I was originally using RSS to see if the UI could even be built on an iPad but then dropped in HTTP once I had feeds loading. Mlem looks awesome! Hoping enough people even want a read-only client 😂

@davidbures I totally would! The documentation was definitely a hurdle for me because the link redirects to a JS client right now. I did a bit of spelunking and guessing until I found the 3-4 calls I’ve needed so far. I have to imagine the WebSocket API is a night and day difference though. How are you handling the migration? Just call by call or trying to automate it somehow?

@goatsarah not yet! Definitely on the roadmap though.

@feditips you can use @mastowatch to check the character limit for any Mastodon server too, as well as file upload limit.

Exciting new! Mastowatch 2.0 has hit the #AppStore a little ahead of the original #WWDC launch date. It didn’t make sense to sit around and wait for WWDC when the new features were just sitting there waiting to see the world. So what is new in this build?

@Gargron @mattferrell great last name
