A little bird told me that when #Threads will be totally into #ActivityPub then #Mastodon will mysteriously lose the ability to block entire domains/servers... 🐦
No shocker - I hate the way it incorporates with the #fediverse as a whole and, at least currently, feels like it's working in (ish) bad faith.. that may change, but for now they are simply using us as potential eyeballs to boost their engagement numbers (esp for their "big accounts")
BUT...
From my experience, it beats the absolute pants off of #BlueSky in terms of actual "topic" interaction
There are toxic folk here for sure, but the majority seem to leave quickly because of a smaller userbase, domain blocking, and unwillingness to "feed" them.
I have a small but great handful of folks I'm quite active here with .. it's sadly reduced over the last year, but the interaction here for me has always been more positive as a whole.. think I'll hang a round a bit longer.. 😂
@multiverseofbadness@jacklaridian There's a strong core here that can be foundational for later, but some folks have left and some check-in periodically (I turn on notifications for when they post, so I don't miss them).
Is anyone aware of a bot that counting the number of federated #Threads accounts? Just curious about the #Fediverse uptake by Threads users. Out of their puported hundred million users, I would anectdotally guess about 1000 users have voluntarily federated, but maybe you know better than me?
@FinchHaven I may have to roll my own bot. I'd like to know generally how many #Threads accounts have voluntarily federated. It seems to me that very few have.
I believe Flipboard will prove to be a counterweight to Threads and a prime location for news & pundits (as #Meta does not really desire the latter two on their platforms).
#threads is now properly working with #convocasa - I did not do anything so must have been something in their side. Thanks @paul for debugging back then though.
mamo co te threadsy :D w zeszylm tugodniu wpuscilo mnei normalnie nie rzadajac juz instalowania apki na telefonie (czego bym i tak nie zrobił), dzis ... dzis wlazlem ale musialem zalogowac sie haslem bo instagramem nie dawalo rady.
To nie jest beta to jest głęboka alfa. W srodku oczywiście nic ciekawego i iterface z d* wzięty. Ta to ludzi z twittera nie wyciagniecie :>
I don't like this move by #Threads. Limiting who can do #quoteposts pretty much defeats the purpose of quote posts in the first place.
Oh well, I'm confident that #Misskey will not adopt this beyond not allowing blocked users to quote a post by the user blocking them (which I disagree with btw), so this will not affect me thankfully and I can still quote Threads users as long as they haven't blocked me. :seija_coffee:
@mima Quote Posts is a better version of link preview, even Mastodon Clients (Mastodon doesnt have Quoted Posts on Server side) does Quoted Posts exactly like that. So preventing it is stupid and wont get adopted on all of the Server Softwares
@guti Quote Posts is a better version of a link preview, even Mastodon Clients (Mastodon doesnt have Quote Posts) does Quote Posts exactly like that. So preventing it is stupid since it wont/cant get adopted on all of the Fediverse Servers, so having that "Feature" lead to a false sense of Security
Niewiele jest bardziej satysfakcjonujących komend od "git push".
Zapowiadana ostatnio aktualizacja Herbsmana pojawiła się w Internecie. Zawiera wszystko opisywane w poście pod tytułem "Raport z pracy I", czyli zmiany w menu, wyszukiwarkę oraz nowy dział i nowy artykuł zawierający opisy doświadczeń z Sinicuichi.
Do czasu, aż ogarnę się z instagramem i fb, usunąłem linki do nich ze strony głównej bloga. Ani trochę nie odnajduję się na tych platformach, ale dzisiaj to wciąż najlepszy sposób na dotarcie do szerszej grupy odbiorców.
Zarejestrowałem się też na #Threads . Podobno ma być kiedyś zintegrowane z protokołem Activity Pub, ale mam przeczucie, że wiele instancji Mastodona odetnie się od serwerów Mety.
Byłoby miło, gdyby istniała możliwość automatycznego publikowania treści z pol.social na Threads, abym nie musiał się tam logować i rejestrować. Widzę, że Buffer oferuje obsługę Mastodona, więc może jest na to szansa. Przetestuję i dam znać.
@herbsman: tutaj założyciel oraz SNM SVMetaSearch - nie twierdzę, że Facebook czy Instagram są potrzebne. Wręcz przeciwnie, można założyć, że każdy projekt, o ile dobrze promowany, dosięgnie również efekt tzw. marketingu wirusowego. Co za tym idzie - benefituje platforma, która wcześniej była bardzo niszowa. Taki win-win dla obu stron.
@svmetasearch Ciekawi mnie czy istnieje gdzieś strategia "wyciągania" ludzi z korporacyjnych social media. Poradnik odpowiadający na pytania w stylu - jak rozmawiać ze znajomymi o #Fediverse , przede wszystkim z tymi, którzy nie są biegli w obsłudze komputera. O korzyściach płynących z dołączenia do tej sieci, które nie skupiałyby się na prywatności czy wolności słowa, bo niestety te argumenty nie przemawiają do "zwykłych ludzi".
Ciekawi mnie też, co zyskują twórcy treści spędzając czas na publikowaniu na np. #polsocial . Oczywiście istnieje mniejsza szansa (niemal zerowa) na utratę kanału, ale co poza tym? Stosunek ryzyka do zysku wciąż przemawia na korzyść Mety czy TikToka.
Jest tutaj tak wielu uzdolnionych osób, więc pewnie ktoś już na takie pytania odpowiedział. Muszę poszukać, jakiś pomysł gdzie zacząć?
Io me li ricordo ancora quelli che mesi fa, nel #Fediverso, "#Threads è già morto". 😆
Che Threads venga su bene è una cosa positiva per il Fediverso, soprattutto quando Markino vorrà monetizzare (perché lo farà) e gli utenti si accorgeranno che il Fediverso non è solo Threads (un po' come i tromboni che continuano a ripetere che il Fediverso non è solo #Mastodon). 😆 😉
@eklektikos probabilmente finchè saranno in fase di espansione non metteranno publicità, rimarrà un'oasi pulita per incentivare la migrazione da twitter.
Potranno andare avanti anche anni senza mettere pubblicità fino a distruggere twitter e avere un monopolio dei social.
e infatti la federazione col fediverso servirà propriio come scudo antitrust per difendersi da eventuali accuse, mica scemo il zucchino 😁
Earlier this week, #BusinessInsider reported that according to app analytics firm #Apptopia, Threads now has more daily active users in the #US than #X.
Mi modesta opinión:
Que #Threads sea interoperable con plataformas del #Fediverso con #ActivityPub no la convierte en una plataforma del Fediverso. Porque el Fediverso, por su naturaleza, es una plétora de plataformas alternativas, descentralizadas, autónomas y FLOSS, con una ética antagónica a la de Zuckerberg. Threads es una red corporativa de Meta y no encaja en el Fediverso, aunque se conecte a él. Es como un fan del reguetón en un concierto punk porque le regalaron una entrada.
@MatthewChat That’s good. But it still is prone to the whims of stockholders who want profit. So ads, tracking, subscriptions, etc. are going to be inevitable and obnoxious. That’s why I can’t buy into other social media. It will enshittify.
I've read a few posts recently from people who lament that 1) they miss their Twitter friends and 2) they couldn't convince them to follow them over to here.
I've spent a little more time exploring the other networks lately and I've found my old Twitter gang.
They're on #Threads. A lot of them are still on Twitter, but it looks like they're slowly drifting over to Threads as their platform of choice.
@failedLyndonLaRouchite@sysop408 I feel like 70-90% of „content“ on other platforms is either obviously AI generated or so low effort and mundane it could be AI generated (I had this feeling even before AI in its current form was a thing), while on this platform the quota feels much better to me.
@shinjiikarus There was some of that, but there wasn’t so much AI that I saw on #Threads, but the usual tired engagement hacking fluff dominating every algorithm based feed.
On the positive, on Threads I saw lots of people that I knew from Twitter blended together with real life local friends on Instagram.
It’s a much different vibe. People aren’t composing multiple ripostes everyday about the failures of capitalism. They’re just shooting the shit. Less “content” and more chatter. It’s more of a hang out.
The downside is that with such a high level of cross-interaction, there’s also a lot of the usual cast of toxic personalities that always show up whenever a thread reaches a certain level of activity. It’s harder to avoid annoying people. There are more of them, they stay online longer, and algorithms make it more likely they’ll stumble into you.
But like here, getting started is hard. There still is the problem of how you keep 5% of the accounts from consuming 50% of the oxygen.
#Threads reminds you after 30 days of sharing to the fediverse that you’re doing it and gives the option to go turn it off if you don’t want it anymore.
